Use the general standard form:
ax+by+c=0
Step1:
in gradient and one point form (also known as point-slope form) you have,
y-3=1*(x+3)
Step 2
arranging this you get,
x-y+6=0

-x+y=0
Since y=mx + n can represent any line, we can use it.
m is the slope of our line. The given slope is 1 so m=1.
So our formula is formed as y=1*x+n
We can now plug the point to this formula to find the value of n
3=1*(-3)+n
n=6
So y=x+6 represents the line. But we should reform this equality in order to be in the standart form:
-x+y=6 is the standart form (ax+by=c)
