A dotted line going through (-3,3) and (3,1) is not part of the solution (if it were it would be drawn as a solid line to indicate that), but it is a boundary.
The slope of that line is %28-3-%28-1%29%29%2F%28-3-3%29=%28-3%2B1%29%2F%28-3-3%29=%28-2%29%2F%28-6%29=1%2F3
The equation can be written in point=slope form based on point (3,-1) as
y-%28-1%29=%281%2F3%29%2A%28x-3%29 --> y%2B1=%281%2F3%29x%2B%281%2F3%29%2A%28-3%29 --> y%2B1=%281%2F3%29x-1 --> y=%281%2F3%29x-2

The slope-intercept form of the line (the form that starts with y=...) is
y=%281%2F3%29x-2
The area shaded above that line represents highlight%28y%3E%281%2F3%29x-2%29
