Answer

$y \geq -3x +3$

Work Step by Step

The slope of the line is $-3$ and the y-intercept is $3$, so the equation of the boundary line is $y = -3x +3$. The boundary line is solid, so the inequality symbol is either $\leq$ or $\geq$. Assume $y \leq -3x +3$ and test a point in the region to see whether it satisfies this equation. For example, test the point $(2, 3)$. $3 \leq -3(2) +3$ $3 \leq -6$ This is not true. Therefore, the correct inequality is $y \geq -3x +3$
