Answer:

y = -(3 x)/5 or y = 3/5 (-1)^(1/3) x or y = -3/5 (-1)^(2/3) x

Explanation:

Solve for y:

54 x^3 + 250 y^3 = 0

Subtract 54 x^3 from both sides:

250 y^3 = -54 x^3

Divide both sides by 250:

y^3 = -(27 x^3)/125

Taking cube roots gives (3 (-x^3)^(1/3))/5 times the third roots of unity:

Answer: y = -(3 x)/5 or y = 3/5 (-1)^(1/3) x or y = -3/5 (-1)^(2/3) x
