If one line is parallel to another line, then they have the same slope, m, as found in the point slope form
y - y 1 = m ( x - x 1 )
Plugging the parallel slope, m=1 and the point (−4,1) gives us
y−1=1(x−(−4))
y−1=x+4
Adding to 1 both sides
y=x+5
Graphing them both at the same time, reveals two separate graphs which have the same slope (i.e., they are parallel). The top graph passes through (−4,1)
