To find the value of the function \( y = 18x - 13 \) when \( x = -4 \), we can substitute \(-4\) for \(x\):
\[ y = 18(-4) - 13 \]
Calculating \(18(-4)\):
\[ 18 \times -4 = -72 \]
Now substituting that back into the equation:
\[ y = -72 - 13 \]
Calculating \(-72 - 13\):
\[ y = -85 \]
Thus, the value of the function \(y\) when \(x = -4\) is \(-85\). Since \(-85\) is not one of the provided options, it appears that the answer choices may not be referencing this calculation or involve a different equation.
