Please see the graph, made using graphing software.

Work Step by Step

$y <3x$ Change the inequality sign in $y <3x$ to an equal sign ($y =3x$) so we can draw the boundary line. Let $x=0$ $y =3x$ $y=3*0$ $y=0$ Let $x=2$ $y=3x$ $y=3*2$ $y=6$ $(0,0)$ and $(2,6)$ are on the line. Since $(0,0)$ is on the line, we can't use this point to determine what side of the line to shade. $(2,2)$ is our test point. $y <3x$ $2 <3*2$ $2 < 6$ is a true statement, so we shade the side of the line with the point $(2,2)$.
