Question 1:

 The generic equation of the line is given by:
 [tex] y = mx + b [/tex]
 Where,
 m: slope of the line
 b: cutting point with the y axis
 Substituting values ​​we have:
 [tex]y = \frac{2}3}x + 9 [/tex]
 Answer:
 an equation for the line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept is:
 [tex]y = \frac{2}3}x + 9 [/tex]

 Question 2:

 The standard equation of the line is given by:
 [tex]y-yo = m (x-xo) [/tex]
 Where,
 m: slope of the line
 (xo, yo): ordered pair that belongs to the line
 The slope of the line is:
 [tex]m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} [/tex]
 Substituting values:
 [tex]m = \frac{1-(-3)}{3-1} [/tex]
 [tex]m = \frac{1+3}{3-1} [/tex]
 [tex]m = \frac{4}{2} [/tex]
 [tex]m = 2 [/tex]
 We choose an ordered pair:
 [tex](xo, yo) = (3, 1) [/tex]
 Substituting values:
 [tex]y-1 = 2 (x-3) [/tex]
 Rewriting:
 [tex]y = 2x - 6 + 1 y = 2x - 5[/tex]
 Answer:
 An equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the points (1, -3) and (3,1) is:
 [tex] y = 2x - 5 [/tex]

 Question 3:

 For this case, since the variation is direct, then we have an equation of the form:
 [tex]y = kx [/tex] Where,
 k: constant of variation.
 We then have the following equation:
 [tex]-4y = 8x [/tex] Rewriting we have:
 [tex]y = \frac{8}{-4}x [/tex]
 [tex] y = -2x [/tex] Therefore, the constate of variation is given by:
 [tex]k = -2 [/tex]
 Answer:
 the constant of variation is:
 [tex]k = -2 [/tex]

 Question 4:

 For this case, since the variation is direct, then we have an equation of the form:
 [tex]y = kx [/tex] Where,
 k: constant of variation.
 We must find the constant k, for this we use the following data:
 y = 24 when x = 8
 Substituting values:
 [tex] 24 = k8 [/tex] Clearing k we have:
 [tex]k = \frac{24}{8} [/tex]
 [tex]k = 3 [/tex]
 Therefore, the equation is:
 [tex]y = 3x [/tex] Thus, substituting x = 10 we have that the value of y is given by:
 [tex]y = 3 (10) y = 30[/tex] Answer:
 the value of y when x = 10 is:
 [tex] y = 30[/tex]

(1) The equation of straight line for slope [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and y-intercept [tex]9[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+9}[/tex].

(2) The equation of line that passes through the points [tex](1,-3)[/tex] and [tex](3,1)[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{y=2x-5}[/tex].

(3) The constant of variation for line [tex]-4y=8x[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{k=-2}[/tex].

(4) The value of [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{20}[/tex].

Further explanation:

Part (1)

Concept used:

The equation of straight line for slope [tex]m[/tex] and intercept [tex]c[/tex] can be expressed as,

[tex]\boxed{y=mx+c}[/tex]     ....(1)

Here, [tex]c[/tex] is the [tex]y[/tex]-intercept of the straight line.

Given:

The slope of the line is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex]-intercept is [tex]9[/tex].

Calculation:

Substitute [tex]m=\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and [tex]c=9[/tex] in the equation (1) to obtain the equation of straight line as follows,

[tex]y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+9[/tex]  

Therefore, the equation of straight line for slope [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex]-intercept [tex]9[/tex] is [tex]y=\frac{2}{3}x+9[/tex].

Part (2)

Concept used:

The equation of straight line that passes through the point [tex](x_{1},y_{1})[/tex] and [tex](x_{2},y_{2})[/tex] is expressed as,

[tex]\boxed{y-y_{1}=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{2}}(x-x_{1})}[/tex]  ....(2)

Here, [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex] is the slope [tex](m)[/tex] of the line.

Now, the equation of line in the point slope form is,

[tex]\boxed{y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})}[/tex]  

Calculation:

The equation passes through the point [tex](1,-3)[/tex] and [tex](3,1)[/tex].

Now, substitute [tex]1[/tex] for [tex]x_{1}[/tex], [tex]-3[/tex] for [tex]y_{1}[/tex],[tex]3[/tex] for [tex]x_{2}[/tex] and [tex]1[/tex] for [tex]y_{2}[/tex] in the equation (2) to obtain the equation of line.

[tex]\begin{aligned}y-(-3)&=\dfrac{1-(-3)}{3-1}(x-1)\\y+3&=\dfrac{4}{2}(x-1)\\y+3&=2(x-1)\\y&=2x-2-3\\y&=2x-5\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation in slope intercepts form for line that passes through the points [tex](1,-3)[/tex] and [tex](3,1)[/tex] is [tex]y=2x-5[/tex].

Part (3)

Given:

The equation of line is [tex]-4y=8x[/tex].

Concept used:

If the value of [tex]y[/tex] varies directly with the value of [tex]x[/tex] that means as the value of [tex]x[/tex] increases, [tex]y[/tex] increases in the same ratio.

[tex]\boxed{y=kx}[/tex]

Here, [tex]k[/tex] is the constant of variation.

Calculation:

The given equation [tex]-4y=8x[/tex] can be simplified as,

[tex]\begin{aligned}y&=-\dfrac{8x}{4}\\y&=-2x\end{aligned}[/tex]  

Compare the equation [tex]y=-2x[/tex] with the equation (3) to obtain the value of [tex]k[/tex].

[tex]\boxed{k=-2}[/tex]  

Therefore, the constant of variation for the given equation is [tex]k=-2[/tex].

Part (4)

Calculation:

The value of [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]24[/tex] when [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]8[/tex]. The value of [tex]y[/tex] varies directly with [tex]x[/tex].

The constant of variation [tex]k[/tex] is calculated as,

[tex]\begin{aligned}k&=\dfrac{24}{8}\\&=3\end{aligned}[/tex]  

The constant of variation [tex]k[/tex] is [tex]3[/tex].

The relationship between [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] can be written as,

[tex]\boxed{y=kx}[/tex]      ......(4)

Substitute [tex]10[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]3[/tex] for [tex]k[/tex] in the equation (4) to obtain the value of [tex]y[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}y&=3\times10\\&=30\end{aligned}[/tex]  

Therefore, the value of [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]30[/tex].
