Answer:

m = 2

Explanation:

Given

y = mx + 2

Since (- 3, - 4) is a point on the line then it satisfies the equation.

Substitute x = - 3 and y = - 4, the coordinates of the point, into the equation and solve for m, that is

- 4 = - 3m + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 6 = - 3m ( divide both sides by - 3 )

2 = m
