Which one of the following does not represent the Arrhenius equation?

The rate constant of a reaction at temperature $200 \ K$ is $10$ times less than the rate constant at $400 \ K.$ What is the activation energy $({E_a})$ of the reaction ($R = $ gas constant) (in $R$)?

The rate constant of a reaction varies with temperature according to the equation: $\log K = \text{constant} - \frac{E_a}{2.303 RT}$. If a plot of $\log K$ versus $1/T$ yields a straight line with a slope of $-5632$,then the activation energy of the reaction is .......... $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

For a certain gaseous reaction,the temperature is increased by $10\,^{\circ}C$ from $25\,^{\circ}C$ to $35\,^{\circ}C$. If the rate of the reaction doubles,what will be the value of the activation energy $(E_a)$?

The temperature dependence of the rate constant $k$ is expressed as $k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$. When a plot between $\log k$ and $1/T$ is plotted,we get the graph as shown. What is the value of the slope in the graph?
