Parallel lines can be distinguished by looking at the value of their slopes. These equations should have the same value of the slope. We are given the equation,

y=-3x+5

From the choices, we see that A, C and D have the same slope with the equation. Therefore, the correct answer is B, it is the equation that can't be parallel with the given equation.
