Responses

a Number graph x axis ranging from negative one to five, and y axis ranging from negative four to two. A solid line with arrows at both ends passing through the y axis at one and the x axis at point three. The graph is shaded below the line.

Answer 1

Answer: a

Reason: y ≤ 1 − 3x has boundary y = 1 − 3x (so use a solid line) and includes points with y smaller than the line (shade below). Option (a) is the one with a solid line and shading below the line.
