To determine the equation of a line, we can use the point-slope form of the equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) represents a point on the line, and m represents the slope of the line.

Let's start with the first point (-3, 4) and slope m = 2.
Substituting the values into the point-slope equation, we have:

y - 4 = 2(x - (-3))

Simplifying the equation, we get:

y - 4 = 2(x + 3)

To find the equation in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to further simplify the equation. Distribute 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

y - 4 = 2x + 6

Now, isolate y by adding 4 to both sides of the equation:

y = 2x + 10

Therefore, the equation of the line with the slope m = 2 passing through the point (-3, 4) is y = 2x + 10.

Now you can repeat the process for the other given points and slope to find the corresponding equations.

To determine the equation of a line given a point and slope, we can use the point-slope form of the equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope.

Let's calculate the equations for each given point and slope:

For (–3, 4) with m = 2:
Substituting x1 = -3, y1 = 4, and m = 2 into the point-slope form, we get:
y - 4 = 2(x - (-3))
Simplifying:
y - 4 = 2(x + 3)
y - 4 = 2x + 6
y = 2x + 10

For (3, -4) with m = 2:
Substituting x1 = 3, y1 = -4, and m = 2 into the point-slope form, we get:
y - (-4) = 2(x - 3)
Simplifying:
y + 4 = 2(x - 3)
y + 4 = 2x - 6
y = 2x - 10

For (–3, –4) with m = 2:
Substituting x1 = -3, y1 = -4, and m = 2 into the point-slope form, we get:
y - (-4) = 2(x - (-3))
Simplifying:
y + 4 = 2(x + 3)
y + 4 = 2x + 6
y = 2x + 2

Therefore, the correct equations for each given point and slope are:
(–3, 4) with m = 2: y = 2x + 10
(3, –4) with m = 2: y = 2x - 10
(–3, –4) with m = 2: y = 2x + 2
