You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%281%2F3%29x+-+y+%3E=+1
%281%2F3%29x+-1+%3E=+y
or
y%3C=%281%2F3%29x+-1+
here is your line:
+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%281%2F3%29x+-1%29+
since you have <= sign, it would be a solid line meaning the boundary line is included in the solution and you need to shade below the line like this

+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y%3C=%281%2F3%29x+-1%29+
