As the product of the intercepts of the line L with axis-x and axis-y is negative, the slope of L is positive.

Hence, if (a, b) is a point on L, then (b - 4)/(a - 1) > 0
Hence, (b - 4) and (a - 1) both must be of same sign, i.e. either (b > 4 and a > 1) or (b < 4 and a < 1)

Only for option B (b > 4 and a > 1)

The correct answer is B.

I'm missing some concept here. why should be the slope positive here ?
Thanks

Product of x and y intercepts of the line L is negative. Hence, the x and y intercepts of L are of opposite sign.

Now, slope of a line = -(y-intercept of the line)/(x-intercept of the line)

Hence, slope of L = -(y-intercept of L)/(x-intercept of L) > 0

Many slope questions can be solved -- easily and efficiently -- by drawing:

In order for the product of the x and y intercepts to be negative, line L must look like one of the two lines above.
The drawing shows that, of the points given in the answer choices, only (5,7) could be on one of the two lines.

The correct answer is B.

The line will pass through 1st, 3rd and 4th Quadrant.

So the points(a,b) on this line need to be in the following manner
1. a>1, b>4
2. a<1, b<4
