To find the equation that describes the same line as \( y - 6 = -4(x + 1) \), we first need to simplify this equation.

1. Distribute \(-4\) on the right side:

\[
y - 6 = -4x - 4
\]

2. Next, add \(6\) to both sides to solve for \(y\):

\[
y = -4x - 4 + 6
\]

\[
y = -4x + 2
\]

Now we can compare this result with the options given:

- A. \( y = -4x + 2 \)
- B. \( y = -4x - 4 \)
- C. \( y = -4x + 3 \)
- D. \( y = -4x + 7 \)

From our simplification, we see that the correct answer is:

**A. \( y = -4x + 2 \)**
