For any given line L, if the intercepts are given, we can write the equation of the line as xx−intercept+yy−intercept−1=0
For the given line, it stands as L = x6+y3−1=0 Now, notice that when the value of origin is plugged in (0,0), we get L as 0+0-1 --> L<0. Thus, the origin lies on the negative side of the given line. And, as origin lies below the given line, all the points in that region will make L<0 -->
x6+y3−1<0 --> y3<1−x6 --> y<3−x2
Answer: E
