(–3, 4) m = 2
(3, –4) m = 2
(–3, –4) m = 2

The equation of a line with a given slope (m) and passing through a given point (x₁, y₁) can be found using the point-slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

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

1) (–3, 4) with m = 2:
Using the point-slope form, we have:
y - 4 = 2(x - (-3))
y - 4 = 2(x + 3)
y - 4 = 2x + 6
y = 2x + 10

2) (3, –4) with m = 2:
Again, using the point-slope form, we have:
y - (-4) = 2(x - 3)
y + 4 = 2(x - 3)
y + 4 = 2x - 6
y = 2x - 10

3) (–3, –4) with m = 2:
Once again, using the point-slope form, we have:
y - (-4) = 2(x - (-3))
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

To determine the equation of a line with a specified slope that passes through a given point, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

Let's use this formula to determine the equations for each given point and slope:

1. (–3, 4) m = 2:
Using the point-slope form with (x1, y1) = (–3, 4) and m = 2:

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

Simplifying the equation:

y - 4 = 2(x + 3)

Expanding the brackets:

y - 4 = 2x + 6

Bringing all the terms to one side:

y - 2x - 10 = 0

So, the equation of the line with slope 2 that passes through (-3, 4) is y - 2x - 10 = 0.

2. (3, –4) m = 2:
Following the same steps as before, using (x1, y1) = (3, –4) and m = 2:

y - (-4) = 2(x - 3)
y + 4 = 2(x - 3)
y + 4 = 2x - 6
y - 2x + 10 = 0

Therefore, the equation of the line with slope 2 that passes through (3, -4) is y - 2x + 10 = 0.

3. (–3, –4) m = 2:
Again, using the point-slope formula with (x1, y1) = (–3, –4) and m = 2:

y - (-4) = 2(x - (-3))
y + 4 = 2(x + 3)
y + 4 = 2x + 6
y - 2x + 2 = 0

Hence, the equation of the line with slope 2 that passes through (-3, -4) is y - 2x + 2 = 0.

To determine the equation of a line with a specified slope and passing through a given point, we can use the point-slope form of a line equation.

The point-slope form is given by:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

Let's solve each question step by step.

1) (–3, 4) m = 2

Using the point-slope form, we substitute the values:

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

Simplify:

y - 4 = 2(x + 3)

Expand the right side:

y - 4 = 2x + 6

Add 4 to both sides to isolate y:

y = 2x + 10

So, the equation of the line with a slope of 2 passing through the point (–3, 4) is y = 2x + 10.

2) (3, –4) m = 2

Using the point-slope form, we substitute the values:

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

Simplify:

y + 4 = 2(x - 3)

Expand the right side:

y + 4 = 2x - 6

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate y:

y = 2x - 10

So, the equation of the line with a slope of 2 passing through the point (3, –4) is y = 2x - 10.

3) (–3, –4) m = 2

Using the point-slope form, we substitute the values:

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

Simplify:

y + 4 = 2(x + 3)

Expand the right side:

y + 4 = 2x + 6

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate y:

y = 2x + 2

So, the equation of the line with a slope of 2 passing through the point (–3, –4) is y = 2x + 2.
