Solution:
We first write the inequality
3
+ as an equation,
3
3
+ . The line will be

y
> −
x
y
= −
x
graphed as a dashed line because the inequality is > , which does not include the line. We will
graph the line using x- and y-intercepts.
y

A dashed line is drawn through the intercepts, which are located at
1, 0 and
0, 3 . Since the
inequality is of the form
y
> −
3
x
+ , we shade above the line.
