Answer:

y = -5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of a line parallel to the given line is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Where m = slope of the line

And line passes through (x', y')

Equation of a line has been given as,

5x + y = 4

y = -5x + 4

Slope of this line = -5

By the property of parallel lines "slope of the parallel lines are same",

m = -5

Parallel line passing through (-1, 4) and slope 'm' = -5 will be,

y - 4 = -5(x + 1)

y - 4 = -5x - 5

y = -5x - 5 + 4

y = -5x - 1

Therefore, equation of the parallel line will be,

y = -5x - 1
