Equation of the line is, x = 4

Given point is (-2, -1)

First need to write original equation in the form of y = mx + b.

Then we will use slope - point formula to find the equation of parallel line to the original line passing through the given point.

We have given equation is the x = 4 which is the vertical line passing through the point (4, 0) and we know that the slope of the vertical lines is $∞$.

If the slope of a line is undefined, then the line is a vertical line, so it cannot be written in slope - intercept form, but it can be written in the form: x=a, where a is a constant.

That is the line passing through the point (-2, -1) is vertical line x = -2.

Hence, equation of parallel line to x = 4 and passing through the point (-2, -1) is y = -2.
