Answer:

An equation with a slope of -3

Explanation:

Parallel lines have their slopes equal

This means the line you should pick should have a slope of -3

In this case;

3x + y = 1 ----write it in slope-intercept form as;

y = -3x + 1 ------m , slope = -3

The equation to pick should have a slope of -3
