Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 2 = - 1

y = 2x - 1 ← equation of parallel line
