Describe the graph of 3x+y<1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y: y <-3x+1
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The boundary of the solution set is y=3x+1
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-3x%2B1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Take a test point that is not on the boundary, like (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the x and y values of the test point into the
\n" ); document.write( "inequality: 0 < 0 +1
\n" ); document.write( "This is false, so the half-plane solution set for the
\n" ); document.write( "inequality is on the side of the boundary that does not
\n" ); document.write( "contain (0,0)-------------that would be the half-plane
\n" ); document.write( "above the boundary line.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Note the boundary line is NOT part of the solution set because
\n" ); document.write( "equality is not stated in the original equation.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The solution is \"d\".
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
