Answer:

-4x + 5

Explanation:

to be parallel, you need the same slope,

so it has to be -4x

and to go through the point (1,1) the y intercept has to be 5

because if you are using that slope, going down four and over one starting at (0,5) will connect the line to (1,1)

If it helps to draw it out or somehow visually see it, that would be a great idea

but in sum, the only answer is y = -4x + 5

(i didn't see someone had already answered)

(but the answer above uses the slope of 2x and I am unsure why because it says -4x on your question)

(so I guess you could just look at both and see what you need :))
