Answer:

y = - 1

Explanation:

y = 4 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

A line parallel must therefore be a horizontal line with equation

y = c

where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (2, - 1) with y- coordinate - 1, thus

y = - 1 ← equation of parallel line
