Answer:

y - 1 = 4x - 20.

The slope of the line y = 4x +1 is the coefficient of x, so the slope is 4. Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of the "other" line is also 4. Using the point-slope form of a line, the equation of the line in question is: y - 1 = 4(x - 5). Distributing 4, we get y - 1 = 4x - 20. i dont know correct me if im wrong
