Question 593457
5    	x	+	1	y  	=	2	
Find the slope of this line							
make y the subject							
1	y  	=	-5    	x	+	2	
Divide by	1						
	y  	=	-5    	x	+	2    	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	-5    						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
The slope of the required line will be			-5    				
m=-5,point(4,1)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
1=-20 +b			
b=	21						
m=	-5    						
Plug value of  the slope  and b		in y = mx +b		
The required equation is		y=-5 x	+21
