Answer: y = 4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation: Simple...

You have your equation... y=mx+b

You are given a coordinate. That is your x and y, and "m" is given already, and it's your slope.

First, you plug them in. You are solving for the unknown y-intercept or the "b".

5=4(1)+b

Then, you solve!

5=4+b

1=b

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the equation would be...

y=4x+1
