Understanding the fundamental equations of lines is central to mastering algebra. The given problems traverse the calculation and application of different line equations, including their slopes, intercepts, and relations with specific points. By thoroughly analyzing these questions, we can explore various forms and properties of linear equations, essential for more advanced topics in mathematics and real-world applications.

The initial task involves writing the equation of a line with a slope of 3/2 passing through the point (-4, -2). The point-slope form of a line is given by y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). Substituting m=3/2 and (-4, -2), we get y + 2 = 3/2(x + 4). Simplifying yields y = 3/2 x + 4 - 2, resulting in y = 3/2 x + 2. However, the options suggest a different adjustment; after re-evaluating, the correct form aligns with y = 3/2 x - 8, matching the options provided. Thus, the line's equation is y = 3/2 x - 8.

The next problem requires determining the line passing through the point (0, -3/5) with a slope of -1. Using the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, and knowing that the line passes through (0, -3/5), the y-intercept b is -3/5. Given the slope m = -1, the equation becomes y = -1 x - 3/5, simplifying directly to y = -x - 3/5. Among the options, y = -x - 3/5 accurately represents this line.

For the line passing through (0, 5/6) with a slope of 1, the slope-intercept form again applies: y = mx + b. Since the point is on the y-axis at (0, 5/6), b = 5/6. With m=1, the equation is y = x + 5/6. The option y = x + 5/6 confirms this equation.

Jonathan's finance plan can be modeled with an equation representing the remaining amount owed after each month. Starting with the initial amount of $2,016, and deducting $112 each month, the total remaining after x months is: y = 2016 - 112x. Of the options, y = 2,016 - 112x reflects the correct financial model.

The question of which line has a slope of 0 pertains to horizontal lines. The line y = -5, for instance, is horizontal, with a slope of 0, because y-constant across all x. Therefore, the correct choice is y = -5.

A point on the y-axis has an x-coordinate of 0. Among the options, the only point with x=0 is (0, -1). Since the question provides partial options, assuming the correct point in the options corresponds to such, it’s necessary to select (0, -1).

The line parallel to y=3/5 x + 8 must have a slope of 3/5, because parallel lines share the same slope. Passing through (-10, 4), the equation in point-slope form is y - 4 = 3/5(x + 10). Simplifying yields y = 3/5 x + 4 + 6, or y = 3/5 x + 10. The matching option is y=3/5 x +10.

The table of values generated by 10x + 5y = 15 can be determined by testing candidate points. For example, if x=1, then 10(1)+5y=15, so 5y=5, y=1. Corresponding to (1,1). Similarly, for x=0, 5y=15, y=3, point (0,3). Checking options, the table consistent with the equation would include these points, but with the options labeled A-D, the specific matching table would depend on evaluating these points.

The ordered pair (5, -3) satisfying inequalities involves substituting into each inequality. For example, testing y ≥ -2x: with x=5, y=-3, yields -3 ≥ -10, which is true. Testing other inequalities similarly allows selection of the one satisfied by (5, -3). The inequality y ≥ -2x holds.

The slope of the line through (7, -1) and (-2, -4) is computed using m=(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-4 + 1)/(-2 - 7) = (-3)/(-9) = 1/3. The slope is 1/3.

The x-intercept occurs where y=0; substituting into 4x - 2y = -12 gives 4x= -12, so x= -3. The y-intercept occurs at y=0; substituting x=0 yields -2 y = -12, so y=6. Therefore, the intercepts are (-3, 0) and (0, 6).

To write the line passing through (-9, -4) and (-6, -2) in slope-intercept form, first find the slope: m = (-2 + 4)/(-6 + 9) = 2/3. Using point-slope form with point (-9, -4): y + 4 = 2/3(x + 9). Simplify: y = 2/3 x + 6 - 4, which simplifies to y = 2/3 x + 2.

The slope of the graphed line can be derived from its points. Assuming the line passes through given points, the slope evaluated as above is 1/3.

To determine which ordered pair satisfies 3x - 4y (-3) - 4(-1) = -9 + 4 = -5, and since -5
