Answer

The error is solid line. The correct line is dashed line. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $y\lt -x+1$ Graph $y=-x+1$. Use a dashed line because the inequality symbol is $ \lt$. Test $(0,0)$. $\Rightarrow y\lt -x+1$ $\Rightarrow 0\lt -0+1$ $\Rightarrow 0\lt 1$ $(0,0)$ is a solution, shade the half-plane that contains $(0,0)$. Hence, the error is solid line. The correct line is dashed line.
