If you want to find a equation parallel to the line given, you need to know the slope of the line given. Remember that parallel lines have the same slope.
5x - y = 4 and solving for y:
-y = -5x + 4 and solving for positive y:
y = 5x - 4
So the slope of that line is 5. We will use that along with the coordinate given to us to write the equation first in point-slope form then in slope-intercept:
