Answer:

the lines equation would be
y=x+5

Explanation:

The line that it is parallel to has a slope of 1. This is because in the formula y=mx+b, m means slope.If you turn the equation x-y=4, you are left with y=1x-4

That means the slope is 1

Lines that are parallel to eachother have the same slope

To find the y intercept, aka b, you know that you are increasing at the same rate for x and y because it is a 1/1 ratio.

-6 plus 6 leaves you with 0/ -1 plus 6 leaves you with 5

the y-int is 0,5

Now the final equation is y=1x + 5
