To solve for y, we can start by isolating the term with the variable y on one side of the equation. Let's do that:

6x = 7 - 4y

Subtract 7 from both sides:

6x - 7 = -4y

Now, divide both sides by -4, to solve for y:

(6x - 7)/(-4) = y

Simplifying the right side:

y = (7 - 6x)/4

To find the value of y when x = -2, substitute -2 for x in the equation:

y = (7 - 6(-2))/4

Simplifying:

y = (7 + 12)/4

y = 19/4

So, the value of y when x = -2 is 19/4.

The correct answer is C. 19/4.
