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)

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

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
