They are both lines on the coordinate plane. Their intersection is the area common to both of them.

Explanation:

Because they both include the variable, the drawn lines will be solid.
#y >= -1# is a line at #y = -1# and the area shaded to the top.

#x >= 3# is a line at #x = 3# and the area shaded to the right.

The intersection is the lines from the point (3,-1) up and to the right, and the area shaded between them.
