- The graph of is bounded by what two lines?
  
  Answer: It is bounded by the lines y=3x-1, and y=3x+1.
- Why are these two lines considered boundary lines?
  
  Answer: Because the biggest value can attain is 1, and the lowest value it can attain is -1, the graph of the function is caught between the two boundary lines 3x-1 and 3x+1.
- Graph the function and the two boundary lines.
  
  Answer:
