\[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
where
m=slope

\[\huge~\rm~y-1=4(x-5)\]
Is what you get can you make this equation into slope intercept form?

New line must have a slope m= 4 (since parallel) and pass thru the points (5,1)
new line y = mx + b
y = 4x + b
1 = 4*5 + b
1 = 20 + b
b= -19
new line is y = 4x - 19
rearrange 4x - y = 19

Unless the problem has specified what form it wants it in.
