    Answer: C. No solution. (top shaded. Middle not. Bottom shaded.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given inequalities

    y< - 1/3x+5 and

    y> - 1/3x-1.

    If we draw graph for y< - 1/3x+5 equation, it would be a dotted line and we would shade down the dotted line because we have less than < symbol there.

    Now, if we draw graph for second inequality y> - 1/3x-1, it would also be a dotted line and we would shade up of dotted line because we have greater than > symbol there.

    Now, we can see that slopes of both dotted lines are same that is - 1/3.

    So, there would not be any common shaded region.

    Therefore, there would not by any solution of the system of inequalities.

    And correct option is C option.

    C. No solution. (top shaded. Middle not. Bottom shaded.
