Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Consider the inequality $3x + 5y < 7$.
  2. To determine the solution set, we can test a point, such as the origin (0,0).
  3. Substitute x=0 and y=0 into the inequality: $3(0) + 5(0) < 7$, which simplifies to $0 < 7$.
  4. Since $0 < 7$ is true, the origin (0,0) is part of the solution set.
  5. The solution set is an open half-plane because the inequality is strict ($<$), meaning the points on the line $3x + 5y = 7$ are not included.
  6. Since the origin is part of the solution, the solution set is the open half-plane containing the origin.

Correct Answer: (C) open half plane containing the origin except the points of line $3x+5y=7$.
