What is the equation in point−slope form of the line passing through (−3, −4) and (0, 2)?

(y − 8) = 2(x − 3)

(y + 3) = −2(x + 4)

(y − 2) = −2(x + 4)

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

The last one is the good one.

The point slope formula is,

\(y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\)

Where,

\(m=\frac{y_1-y_0}{x_1-x_0}\)

And,

\((x_1,y_1)=(-3,-4)\)

\((x_0,y_0)=(0,2)\)

So, 

\(y-(-4)=\frac{-4-2}{-3-0}(x-(-3))\)

\(y+4=2(x+3)\)
