The correct answer is: [D]: " (0, 0) " .____________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
____________________________________________________
Given: " y < - 2x + 3 " ; We can rewrite this inequality as:

" y < 3 − 2x " ;
____________________________________________________
Consider: Choice [A]: "(1, 1)" ; that is, " x = 1, y = 1" .

When x = 1 ; does y = 1 ; make sense, for this inequality;
____________________________________________________
→ " y < 3 − 2x " ?

1 < 3 − 2(1) ? ; 1 < 3 − 2 ? ; 1 < 1 ? No! {" 1 = 1".} .

→ So; Answer choice: [A]: " (1, 1) " ; is INCORRECT.
____________________________________________________
Consider: Choice [B]: " (3, 0) " ; that is, " x = 3, y = 0" .

When x = 3 ; does y = 0 ; make sense, for this inequality;
____________________________________________________
" y < 3 − 2x " ?

0 < 3 − 2(3) ? ; 0 < 3 − 6? ; 0 < -3 ? No! {" 0>3".} .

→ So; Answer choice: [B]: " (3, 0) " ; is INCORRECT.
____________________________________________________
Consider: Choice [C]: " (- 3, 10) " ; that is, " x = - 3, y = 10" .

When x = - 3 ; does y = 10 ; make sense, for this inequality;
___________________________________________________
→ " y < 3 − 2x " ?

10 < 3 − 2(-3) ? ;
→ 10 < 3 − 2(-3) ? ;
→ 10 < 3 − (-6) ? ;
→ 10 < 3 + 6 ? ; → 10 < 9 ? No! {"10 > 9".} .

→ So; Answer choice: [C]: " (-3, 10) " ; is INCORRECT.
___________________________________________________
Consider: Choice [D]: " (0, 0) " ; that is, " x = 0, y = 0" .

When x = 0 ; does y = 0 ; make sense, for this inequality;
___________________________________________________
" y < 3 − 2x " ?

0 < 3 − 2(0) ? ; 0 < 3 − 0 ? ; 0 < 3 ? Yes!
____________________________________________________
So; the correct answer is: [D]: " (0, 0) " .
