Let me quote the TeXbook (page 195):

»Although formulas within a paragraph always break after binary operations and relations, displayed
formulas always break before binary operations and relations.«

On the other hand, right above this paragraph, it says:

»It's quite an art to decide how to break long displayed formulas into several lines; TeX never
attempts to break them, because no set of rules is really adequate.«
