Let's go through each of your questions one by one.

1. **Point-Slope Form:**
The point-slope form of a line is given by the equation:
\( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \)
where \( (x_1, y_1) \) is a point on the line and \( m \) is the slope.
Given the point (−14, 8) and a slope of −3, we can substitute these values into the formula:
\( y - 8 = -3(x + 14) \)
Therefore, the correct response is:
**y + 8 = −3(x + 14)**

2. **Points on the Line:**
To determine which set of points lies on the line given by \( y + 2 = 13(x - \frac{1}{2}) \), we can check each set by plugging the \( x \)-values into the equation and seeing if we get the corresponding \( y \)-values.

Let's test the points:
- For \( (12, −2) \):
Substitute \( x = 12 \):
\( y + 2 = 13(12 - \frac{1}{2}) \)
\( y + 2 = 13(11.5) \)
\( y + 2 = 149.5 \)
\( y = 147.5 \) (not equal to -2)

- For \( (15, −1) \):
Substitute \( x = 15 \):
\( y + 2 = 13(15 - \frac{1}{2}) \)
\( y + 2 = 13(14.5) \)
\( y + 2 = 188.5 \)
\( y = 186.5 \) (not equal to -1)

- And so on for the other sets.

You should test each option in a similar way — I suggest using a calculator or checking systematically, but it's clearer if you manually work through options to find which points satisfy the equation.

3. **Slope-Intercept Form:**
From the point-slope form, the equation with point (-5, 3) and slope -1 can be written as:
\( y - 3 = -1(x + 5) \)
\( y - 3 = -x - 5 \)
\( y = -x - 2 \)
Thus, the correct response is:
**y = −x − 2**

4. **Standard Form:**
The slope-intercept form \( y = \frac{1}{2}x + 8 \) can be transformed into standard form (Ax + By = C) by eliminating the fraction. Multiply through by 2:
\( 2y = x + 16 \)
Rearranging gives us:
\( -x + 2y = 16 \) or in standard form \( x - 2y = -16 \) (same line, different representation).
The correct answer is:
**x - 2y = -16**

5. **Clearing Fractions:**
The equation \( y = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{1}{4} \) needs to have both fractions multiplied out. The least common multiple of the denominators (3 and 4) is 12.
Multiplying through by 12 clears the fractions.
Therefore, the correct response is:
**12**
