y y>1
Graph y=x-2 with a dotted line (not shown here), then substitute (0.0). That works, so the side of the graph with the origin is valid.
y>1
Draw a horizontal dotted line along y=1, and everything above the line is valid.
Where both work is the answer

It is above the horizontal line until the intersection, then it is above and to the left of the sloped line
