Answer

$y=-4x+9$

Work Step by Step

The given point is $(1,5)$. The given equation of the line is $\Rightarrow y=-4x+2$ Slope of the line is $m=-4$. Slope of the parallel line is $m=-4$. The slope-intercept form is $\Rightarrow y=mx+b$ Substitute $-4$ for $m,1$ for $x,$ and $5$ for $y$. $\Rightarrow 5=-4(1)+b$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 5=-4+b$ Add $4$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 5+4=-4+b+4$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 9=b$. The equation of the parallel line is $\Rightarrow y=-4x+9$.
