First of all, the X > 1 line will be straight up and down because there is no Y value. the Y < 3 would be horizontal because there is no X value. They would both we dashed lines. For the equation 3x-y<6, you have to change it around so it is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b where M and B are numbers). Subtract 3x from both sides to get -y<-3x+6. Now, since you have a negative Y value, you must multiply both sides by -1 to get y>3x-6 (remember that when you multiply or divide by a negative number, the sign switches). Your graph would look similar to this besides the fact that the line would be dotted.
