To determine which graph represents the solution to the equations \(-3x - y = 3\) and \(y = -3x + 4\), we need to analyze both equations.

1. **First equation (\(-3x - y = 3\))**:
- We can rearrange it into slope-intercept form (\(y = mx + b\)):
\[
-y = 3 + 3x
\]
\[
y = -3x - 3
\]
So, the first line has a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of -3.

2. **Second equation (\(y = -3x + 4\))**:
- This is already in slope-intercept form, where the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4.

Now we observe that both lines have the same slope (-3), which means they are parallel. The difference in y-intercepts (-3 and 4) confirms that they will never intersect.

Based on this analysis, the correct graph must show two parallel lines. Therefore, the response that indicates **"Two parallel lines are graphed across a coordinate plane"** is the correct answer.
