The given equation of line is


y=3x-3

Which is of the form


y = mx +b

Where m is the slope which is 3 here.

And slope of parallel lines are equal. So slope of the required line is 3 too .

Now we use slope intercept form, and plug the values of the slope and the given point and solve for b, that is

So we have m =3 and b=4. Therefore required equation of line is


y = 3x+4
