------------------
The last two inequalities put the graphs in the 1st quadrant.
---
Graph y = -x+1; shade the half-plane above the line
Graph y = (-2/3)x + 4 ; shade the half-plane below the line
Graph y = -3x+9 ; shade the half-plane below the line
------------------------------------------------

----
Look at those results to see if you have a closed area in the 1st Quadrant:
You do, with corners at (0,1),(0,4),(1,0),(3,0) and the intersection
of the blue and the green line, which you can determine.
