Since you have asked multiple question, we will answer first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify  question number or post only that question.

In the free labor market, the equilibrium wage rate is determined by the intersection of the labor demand curve and labor supply curve.

Labor demand curve is downward sloping curve indicating an inverse relationship between wages and labor demanded, other things being constant.

Labor supply curve is the upward sloping line indicating positive relationship between wages and labor supplied, other things being constant.

The government can interfere in the free labor market by imposing minimum wage law.
