I'll do the first few to get you going.

# 2
The key words are "per pound", which means that this is a discrete variable.

So the answer is choice A
=======================================================
# 6
As x increases by 1, f(x) increases by 4. So the slope is 4/1 = 4. So the equation is f(x) = 4x (since this is the only choice with a slope of 4)
=======================================================
# 7

As x increases by 1, f(x) increases by 1. So the slope is 1/1 = 1. So the equation is f(x) = x + 4 (since this is the only choice with a slope of 1 and plugging in x = 3 gives you 7)
