To determine what the graphs of the given equations look like, we can analyze the two equations:
-
Equation 1: \(-3x - y = 3\)
- To express this in slope-intercept form (\(y = mx + b\)), we can rearrange it: \[ -y = 3 + 3x \implies y = -3x - 3 \]
- This line has a slope of \(-3\) and a y-intercept at \(-3\).
-
Equation 2: \(y = -3x + 4\)
- This is already in slope-intercept form with a slope of \(-3\) and a y-intercept at \(4\).
Now comparing the two lines:
- Both equations have the same slope of \(-3\), which means the lines are parallel.
- The y-intercept of the first line is \(-3\), while the y-intercept of the second line is \(4\). Since they have different y-intercepts, they will never intersect.
Thus, the correct description of the graph is that of two parallel lines. Since one is described as solid and the other as dotted, this reinforces that they do not intersect.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Two parallel lines are graphed across a coordinate plane. One line is dotted while the other is solid.
