One question at a time, please.  I will focus on #16 and ignore #18.

slope:  3/4              line passes thru (-8,2)

Write out    y = mx + b.  Subst. 2 for y.  Subst. -8 for x  Subst. (3/4) for m:

2 = (3/4)(-8) + b.  Find b.           2 = -6 + b    =>           b = 8

So your equation is y = (3/4)x + 8.  Please, use (  ) around those fractions!
