Expert Solution
Step 1

An equation of a line through (0,3) which is parallel to the line y=-3x+3.

The line is parallel to y=-3x+3 therefore the slope of both the lines is the same which is -3.

Since the equation of a line is of the form y=mx+b then m is the slope of that line,

and b is the y-intercept

compare the equation y=-3x+3 with y=mx+b we get the slope m=-3.
