**Line Tangency Problem**

Find an equation of a line that is tangent to the graph of \( f \) and parallel to the given line.

**Function:**
\[ f(x) = x^3 \]

**Line:**
\[ 3x - y + 3 = 0 \]

The solutions should be found for two cases:
- **Smaller y-intercept:**
  \[ y = \_\_\_\_\_ \]

- **Larger y-intercept:**
  \[ y = \_\_\_\_\_ \]

In this problem, you are given a cubic function \( f(x) = x^3 \) and a linear equation \( 3x - y + 3 = 0 \). Your task is to determine the equations of the lines that are both tangent to the cubic function and parallel to the given linear equation. 

Since the lines are parallel to the given line, they must have the same slope. Write the answers for the tangents with the smaller and larger y-intercepts in the provided boxes.
