The problem cannot be fully solved because you did provide the line on which the line is parallel/ but i can give you the steps on how to solve it. first solve the slope of the parallel line by m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ) then the slope of that line is equal to slope of line passing pooint ( -1 , 1) then solve the y intercept of the line using y = mx + b where b is the y intercept then you will have the equation of the line
