To find the missing value to make the point \((4, __)\) on the equation \(y = -6x^2 + 2\), we need to substitute \(x = 4\) into the equation and solve for \(y\).

Starting from the equation:

\[ y = -6x^2 + 2 \]

Substituting \(x = 4\):

\[ y = -6(4^2) + 2 \]

Calculating \(4^2\):

\[ 4^2 = 16 \]

Now plug this back into the equation:

\[ y = -6(16) + 2 \] \[ y = -96 + 2 \] \[ y = -94 \]

Thus, the missing value is:

\[ y = -94 \]

So the point would be \((4, -94)\).
