To find the graph that matches the linear equation \( 6x + y = -4 \), we can rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (\( y = mx + b \)).

1. Start with the original equation:
\[
6x + y = -4
\]

2. Subtract \( 6x \) from both sides:
\[
y = -6x - 4
\]

From this equation, we can see that:
- The slope (\( m \)) is \(-6\).
- The y-intercept (\( b \)) is \(-4\).

### Characteristics of the graph:
- The line will have a steep negative slope and will decrease sharply as \( x \) increases.
- It will cross the y-axis at the point (0, -4).

### To choose the correct graph:
- Look for a line that slopes downwards from left to right.
- Verify that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, -4).

Without visual options, I cannot select a specific graph. However, you should use these characteristics to identify the correct graph from the options you have.
