Question : Find the coordinates of the points where the graph $57x – 19y = 399$ cuts the coordinate axes.
Option 1: x-axis at(–7, 0) and y-axis at (0, –21)
Option 2: x-axis at(–7, 0) and y-axis at (0, 21)
Option 3: x-axis at (7, 0) and y-axis at (0, –21)
Option 4: x-axis at (7, 0) and y-axis at (0, 21)
Correct Answer: x-axis at (7, 0) and y-axis at (0, –21)
Solution : $57x-19y=399$ ⇒ $\frac{57x}{399}-\frac{19y}{399} = 1$ ⇒ $\frac{x}{7}-\frac{y}{21} = 1$ -------------(i) Comparing it with the equation of a line: $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b} = 1$ x-intercept = $a$ = 7 y-intercept = $b$ = –21 The line, $57x-19y=399$, cuts the x-axis

Question : If $x^2+4y^2=17$ and $xy = 2$, where $x > 0, y > 0$, then what is the value of $x^3+8y^3$?
Option 1: 95
Option 2: 85
Option 3: 65
Option 4: 76
