To find an equation that is parallel to a line with a slope of \(-4\), we need to identify an equation that also has the same slope, because parallel lines have equal slopes.

Among the given options, we look for the line that has a slope of \(-4\):

1. **y = 4x - 1** (slope = 4)
2. **y = -\(\frac{1}{4}\) x + 3** (slope = -\(\frac{1}{4}\))
3. **y = \(\frac{1}{4}\) x - 1** (slope = \(\frac{1}{4}\))
4. **y = -4x + 3** (slope = -4)

The fourth option, **y = -4x + 3**, has the same slope of \(-4\).

Therefore, the equation that is parallel to a line with a slope of \(-4\) is:

**y = -4x + 3**.
