Question

i need to know to equation.

Answer 1

The line x = -5 does not pass through (1,4)

If you mean y=-5x, then the equation is -5 = (y-4)/(x-1).

Sorry, I did not realize Patrick had already answered this question.

Answer 2

x=-5 is a vertical line...

so the parallel line must also be vertical

x=1
