Graph y=-3x+1.


Set y=0 to find the x intercept. 0 = -3x+1


-1 = -3x


1/3 = x. That's one point (1/3, 0)


Set x = 0 to find the y intercept. y = -3(0) + 1


y=1. (0,1) is the second point.


Draw the line.


y > -3x+1 is everything above the line, not including the line (draw it with a dotted line.)
