Interpreting Unshaded Test Points for Resource Constraints

An inventory manager uses a coordinate graph to model storage capacity constraints, where the boundary is defined by the solid line 3xy=6{}3x - y = 6. The shaded area represents the feasible storage region. To identify the correct inequality, the manager tests the origin point (0, 0), which is located in the unshaded region. State whether substituting the coordinates of this unshaded test point into the correct inequality expression 3xy{}3x - y must produce a true or a false mathematical statement, and recall the rule that explains how this test determines whether the correct inequality is 3xy6{}3x - y \geq 6 or 3xy6{}3x - y \leq 6.
