For two linear equations to be parallel on the coordinate grid, they both must have the same slope.

As shown in the options given, only option 1 has the same slope as the one in the question. The slope is the coefficient of x, and in this case, the slope is -1/3.

Please note also that the equation in option 1 is the same as the equation given as a question.
