Suppose $A$ and $B$ are points in the first quadrant such that the slopes of the line segments $\overline{OA}$ and $\overline{OB}$ are $3$ and $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}$ , respectively, where $O$ is the origin. If $\lvert \overline{OA} \rvert= \lvert \overline{OB} \rvert,$ then what is the equation of line which is parallel to the line segment $AB$ and passes through the point $P=(-3,7)?$

y=-x+10

y=x+4

y=x-10

y=-x+4
