To find the best approximate solution to the system of equations graphed, we need to look at the intersection point of the graphs of the equations. Without seeing the actual graph, I can suggest the method for finding an approximate solution.

Typically, you would visually identify the point where the lines (or curves) of the two equations intersect. The coordinates of this intersection point will represent the solution to the system of equations.

Given the options:
- (3.5, 7.5)
- (−3, 7)
- (−3.5, 7.5)
- (3, 7)

If you can observe the intersection point on the graph, match it as closely as possible to one of these options. If the graph shows a clear intersection point near one of the coordinates listed above, that would be your best approximate solution.

If you have further details or can describe the graph or the equations, I would be better able to assist in determining the best option.

To find the intersection of the lines represented by the equations:

1. **Convert the equations to slope-intercept form (if needed):**
- The orange line is given by the equation \( -3x - y = 3 \). Rearranging gives:
\[
y = -3x - 3
\]
- The blue line is already in slope-intercept form: \( y = -x + 4 \).

2. **Set the two equations equal to find the intersection point:**
\[
-3x - 3 = -x + 4
\]

3. **Solve for \( x \):**
\[
-3x + x = 4 + 3
\]
\[
-2x = 7
\]
\[
x = -\frac{7}{2} = -3.5
\]

4. **Substitute \( x \) back into one of the equations to find \( y \):**
Using the blue line's equation \( y = -x + 4 \):
\[
y = -(-3.5) + 4 = 3.5 + 4 = 7.5
\]

Thus, the intersection point is:
\[
\left(-3.5, 7.5\right)
\]

Given your options:
- (3.5, 7.5)
- (−3, 7)
- (−3.5, 7.5)
- (3, 7)

The best approximate solution to the system of equations, based on the intersection, is:
\[
\boxed{(-3.5, 7.5)}
\]
