Which equation is equivalent to y - 6 = -12(x+4)?

A. y = -6x -48
B. y = 6x - 48
C. y = -12x - 42
D. y = -12x - 54

1 answer

The equivalent equation can be found by distributing the -12 to the terms in the parentheses:

y - 6 = -12(x + 4)
y - 6 = -12x - 48

Rearranging the terms gives:

y = -12x - 42

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
