Fill in the Blank

A safety coordinator is mapping out safe noise-level zones on a coordinate grid. The acceptable boundaries are defined by the system of linear inequalities:

y<12x+3y < -\frac{1}{2}x + 3

y<3x4y < 3x - 4

According to the standard graphing procedure, to determine which side of the boundary line y=12x+3y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 3 to shade, the coordinator tests the origin, (0, 0). Substituting these coordinates into the inequality yields the mathematical statement 0<3{}0 < 3. Since this statement is ____ (true/false), the coordinator recalls that they must shade the region containing the origin.
