Part A: The slope of f(x) is three times as great as the slope of g(x).
Part B: The y-intercept of g(x) is 12 larger than the y-intercept of f(x).
In order to find these two answers, you need to find a model for f(x). You can do that by first finding the slope. The formula is below.
slope (m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
In this equation (x1, y1) is the first point and (x2, y2) is a second point. For this purpose, we'll pick (1, 0) and (0, -6)
slope (m) = (-6 - 0)/(0 - 1)
m = -6/-1
m = 6
Now we know that the slope is 6, which is 3 times as great as the first slope. Now to find the y-intercept, we can use either point and the slope in slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
0 = 6(1) + b
0 = 6 + b
-6 = b
So we know the y-intercept is -6, which is 12 less than the y-intercept of g(x).

Answer: x = 10========================================================
Explanation:
Check out the attached image. I've basically redrawn your image and added point D. This point is the intersection of the angle bisector and segment BC. The red angle (DAC) and the green angle (DAB) are congruent.
The reason why I added point D is to help with the angle bisector theorem. This theorem states that if we have a triangle ABC, and angle A is bisected (as the diagram shows), then we can set up the following proportion
AB/BD = AC/CD
Note how AB and BD are on the left side of point D, and they form the ratio AB/BD. Similarly, AC and CD are to the right of point D so they form the ratio AC/CD. These two ratios are equal by the angle bisector theorem.
---------------------
Let's plug in the given info and then isolate x
AB/BD = AC/CD
8/(x+4) = 12/(2x+1)
8(2x+1) = 12(x+4) ... cross multiply
8(2x)+8(1) = 12(x)+12(4) ... distribute
16x+8 = 12x+48
16x+8-8 = 12x+48-8 ... subtract 8 from both sides
16x = 12x+40
16x-12x = 12x+40-12x ... subtract 12x from both sides
4x = 40
4x/4 = 40/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 10---------------------
Check:
8/(x+4) = 12/(2x+1)
8/(10+4) = 12/(2*10+1) ... replace every x with 10
8/(10+4) = 12/(20+1)
8/14 = 12/21
4/7 = 4/7
