To determine the system of equations from the description of the graph, let's analyze the information provided:

1. We have two lines on a coordinate plane.
2. The first line is solid and passes through the point (2, 7).
3. The second line is dotted and intersects the first line at the point (-1, 1).

From the details, we can gather the following:

- The solid line must be the one that has a defined point (2, 7), and we need to find the equation for that line. Given that it has a positive slope and the y-value is 7 when x is 2, we should identify the correct linear equation that would fit this requirement.

- Similarly, the dotted line intersects the solid line at (-1, 1), and we need its equation too.

To find the equations of the solid line and the dotted line, we can check each system of equations provided in the options:

1. **{y = -x + 1; y = 2x + 7}**
- The equation y = 2x + 7 can be rearranged. When x=2, y=2(2)+7=11 (not matching (2,7)).

2. **{y = 3x + 2; y = 4x + 3}**
- The first equation (3x + 2) at x=2 gives y=3(2)+2=8 (not matching (2,7)). The second does not match either.

3. **{y = 2x - 3; y = 3x - 4}**
- The first equation (2x - 3) gives (2, 1) at x=2; the second does not match (2,7).

4. **{y = 2x + 3; y = 3x + 4}**
- The first equation (2x + 3) gives (2,7) when x=2.
- Testing the second equation at (-1): y=3(-1)+4=1, which matches the intersection point (-1,1).

Only the last system **{y = 2x + 3; y = 3x + 4}** is consistent with the described graph.

Thus, the correct system of equations that corresponds to the graph is:

**{y = 2x + 3; y = 3x + 4}**
