Your equation is in the Slope-Intercept form:
y=mx+c
where m is the slope; in your case slope is m=−4.
The parallel must have the same slope, i.e., −4.

This equation is in the form y=mx+c
The gradient is -4.
Perpendicular gradients are negative reciprocals of each other.
m 1 × m _ 2 = - 1
The negative reciprocal of -4 is 1 4
This is the required gradient.
Check: - 4 × 1 4 = - 1
