Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
You can reflect point x across the origin to find is is just above -1. Adding 3 to that value gives a point just above -1+3 = 2. That's where point C is located.

<em>Algebraic solution</em>
Algebraically, you can set y = -x +3, and solve for x. That gives you ...
x = 3 -y
Using the relation given at the start:
0 < x < 1
0 < 3 -y < 1 . . . . . substitute for x
Adding y gives ...
y < 3 < y+1
We can separate this into two inequalities:
y < 3, and
3 < y+1
2 < y . . . subtract 1
Now, we have ...
2 < y < 3 . . . . . the location of point C
As you can see, it is much easier to use the number line directly to find the desired point.
