the problem cannot be fully solved because you did provide the line on which the line is parallel/ but i can give you the steps on how to solve it. first solve the slope of the parallel line by
m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
then the slope of that line is equal to slope of line passing pooint ( -1 , 1)
then solve the y intercept of the line using
y = mx + b
where b is the y intercept
then you will have the equation of the line
