Answer:
y = 2x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope. You were given y = 2x +1 and in this equation the slope is 2 because the slope is the coefficient of the x term.
Using the slope = 2 and point (5, 4), solve for the y-intercept "b" in the formula y = mx + b
4 = 2(5) + b
4 = 10 + b
-10 = -10 + b
-6 = b
Now write the equation of the line : y = 2x - 6
