y=mx%2Bb

cross%28y-mx=b%29


cross%28b=-13%29
cross%28y=4x-13%29
--------------------------------
parallel to y = 4
--------------------------------
Slope of the given line is 0. Line asked for also is of slope 0.
No change in y for any x.
highlight%28y=-5%29

            The solution and the answer by  @josgarithmetic both are   T O T A L L Y   W R O N G.

            So, simply ignore it for your safety.



The correct answer is

        y = -5,

and it is  more  than  OBVIOUS.
