I will solve the problem presented in the image, which is to write an equation of a line that passes through a given point and has a specified slope. I will go through each problem one by one.
The general formula for the equation of a line in point-slope form is:
`y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)`
where `(x₁, y₁)` is a point on the line and `m` is the slope.
Let's start with problem 1.
Problem 1: (3, 0) slope of 3
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (3, 0)
- Slope: m = 3
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - 0 = 3(x - 3)`
`y = 3x - 9`
This matches the provided answer: `y = 3x - 9`.

Problem 2: (2, 4) slope of 2
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (2, 4)
- Slope: m = 2
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - 4 = 2(x - 2)`
`y - 4 = 2x - 4`
`y = 2x`
This matches the provided answer: `y = 2x`.

Problem 3: (5, 3) slope of -1
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (5, 3)
- Slope: m = -1
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - 3 = -1(x - 5)`
`y - 3 = -x + 5`
`y = -x + 8`
This matches the provided answer: `y = -x + 8`.
---
Problem 4: (-4, 6) slope of -2
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (-4, 6)
- Slope: m = -2
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - 6 = -2(x - (-4))`
`y - 6 = -2(x + 4)`
`y - 6 = -2x - 8`
`y = -2x - 2`
This matches the provided answer: `y = -2x - 2`.
---
Problem 5: (1, -2) slope of 1/2
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (1, -2)
- Slope: m = 1/2
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - (-2) = (1/2)(x - 1)`
`y + 2 = (1/2)x - 1/2`
`y = (1/2)x - 1/2 - 2`
`y = (1/2)x - 5/2`
This matches the provided answer: `y = (1/2)x - 5/2`.
---
Problem 6: (-1, -3) slope of 4
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (-1, -3)
- Slope: m = 4
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - (-3) = 4(x - (-1))`
`y + 3 = 4(x + 1)`
`y + 3 = 4x + 4`
`y = 4x + 1`
This matches the provided answer: `y = 4x + 1`.
---
Problem 7: (2, 6) slope of 2
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (2, 6)
- Slope: m = 2
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - 6 = 2(x - 2)`
`y - 6 = 2x - 4`
`y = 2x + 2`
This matches the provided answer: `y = 2x + 2`.
---
Problem 8: (-1, 4) slope of 3
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (-1, 4)
- Slope: m = 3
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - 4 = 3(x - (-1))`
`y - 4 = 3(x + 1)`
`y - 4 = 3x + 3`
`y = 3x + 7`
This matches the provided answer: `y = 3x + 7`.
---
Problem 9: (-1, -2) slope of 1/2
- Point: (x₁, y₁) = (-1, -2)
- Slope: m = 1/2
Using the point-slope formula:
`y - (-2) = (1/2)(x - (-1))`
`y + 2 = (1/2)(x + 1)`
`y + 2 = (1/2)x + 1/2`
`y = (1/2)x + 1/2 - 2`
`y = (1/2)x - 3/2`
This matches the provided answer: `y = (1/2)x - 3/2`.
