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