-5%2F4x = 4
x = 4%28-4%2F5%29
x = -16%2F5
...
the line is a vertical line through the x axis at -16%2F5
...
a parallel line will have the same slope, which is undefined.
...
the equation for the parallel line will be highlight_green%28x=7%29, which is another vertical line, but one through the x axis at 7.
