Answer:

The equation of the desired line is thus y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A line parallel to y = 5 is a horizontal line.  The x-coordinate of every point on this line can take on any x-value; the y-coordinate is always 5.

The line that passes through the point (1, 4) has the constant y-coordinate 4, whereas x can take on any value.

The equation of the desired line is thus y = 4; this line passes through (1, 4) as required and is parallel to y = 5.
