Validity of Intersection Points in Inequality Systems

A quality control analyst is graphing the system of constraints {y2x1,y<x+1}\{y \geq 2x - 1, y < x + 1\} to determine safe operational limits for a piece of machinery. The analyst identifies the point where the two boundary lines intersect but determines it is not part of the final solution set. Based on the rules for this specific system, why is the intersection point excluded from the solution?
