To find which graph represents the solution to the equations \(-3x - y = 3\) and \(y = -3x + 4\), we can start by rearranging the first equation into slope-intercept form.

Starting with \(-3x - y = 3\):
1. Add \(3x\) to both sides:
\(-y = 3 + 3x\)
2. Multiply by -1 to solve for \(y\):
\(y = -3x - 3\)

Now, we have the two equations:
1. \(y = -3x - 3\) (Line 1)
2. \(y = -3x + 4\) (Line 2)

Both lines have the same slope of \(-3\), but different \(y\)-intercepts (-3 for Line 1 and 4 for Line 2). This means that the lines are parallel and will never intersect.

Given this information, the correct graph would be:

**"Two parallel lines are graphed across a coordinate plane. One line is dotted while the other is solid."**

This indicates that the two lines do not intersect, confirming they are parallel.
