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.

Algebraic solution

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.
