Answer: B. Parallel

============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve each equation for y. In other words, get y by itself

Let's start with the first equation

-3x = 3 - y

-3x - 3 = -y

-y = -3x-3

y = 3x+3

Do the same for the second equation

-1+y = 3x-2

y = 3x-2+1

y = 3x-1

The two equations we got were

y = 3x+3

y = 3x-1

Both have the same slope (m = 3) but different y intercepts, so we have parallel lines here.
