Explanation:

the slope of a line ("m" in the given point-slope form) is the ratio (y coordinate change / x coordinate change) when going from one point on the line to another.

we got 2 points already identified :

(-3, -4) and (1, 4).

x changes by +4 (from -3 to 1).

y changes by +8 (from -4 to 4).

the slope m is then

+8/+4 = 2

let's use e.g. (1, 4) as given point for the point-slope form (but you can use also the other, or any point on the line) :

y - 4 = 2(x - 1) = 2x - 2

y = 2x + 2

-2x + y = 2

and that is the standard form.
