The parallel line has to have the form y = -x + c, where c is an undetermined constant. To find the value of c, use the coordinates of the point.
==> 4 = -4 + c ==> c = 8
==> The equation of the line is y = -x + 8. (Equations for one line are fundamentally the same, so it's up to you to just go from one form to another.)
