Answer:
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The line with equation y = - 5 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.
Then a line parallel to it will also be horizontal with equation
y = c
where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.
The line passes through (2, 1) with y- coordinate 1 , then
y = 1 ← equation of parallel line
