Answer:

y = - 5

Explanation:

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

A parallel line 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 (1, - 5) with y- coordinate - 5, thus

y = - 5 ← equation of parallel line
