Answer 2

`x = 1`

Explanation:

Given:

The equation of the given line is
`x=-5`.

A line of the form
`x=a`, where
`a` is a constant, is a line parallel to y axis and has x-intercept equal to
`a`.

Here, the line
`x=-5` is parallel to y axis and has x-intercept equal to -5.

Now, another line is parallel to the line
`x=-5`, so this line is also parallel to y axis.

This line also passes through the point
`(1,4)`. So, the x-intercept will be equal to the x co-ordinate of the point
`(1,4)`.

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the point
`(1,4)` and parallel to the line
`x=-5` is
`x = 1`.
