Every line with a slope of -4 is parallel to this line.

What is the parallel line for y = -4x + 1?

Parallel lines have equal slopes, therefore
a line parallel to y = -4x + 1, would have the same slope.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-interecept

In y = -4x + 1
slope = -4x

A line parallel to that, could be:
y = -4x
y = -4x + 7
y = -4x - 5
Any of those would be parallel to it.
