Determining Overlapping Regions for Parallel Constraints

A home office space planner is designing a layout subject to two simultaneous constraints, represented by the system of linear inequalities {y3x+1,;3x+y4}\left\{y \geq 3x + 1,; -3x + y \geq -4\right\}. After graphing, the planner observes that both boundary lines are parallel and both regions are shaded above their respective lines. Recall the standard mathematical rule for finding the intersection of parallel half-planes shaded in the same direction: which of the two original inequalities represents the final, doubly-shaded overlapping solution region?
