Answer:

slide = new JSlider( JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 79 );
slide.setMajorTickSpacing( 10);
slide.setMinorTickSpacing(  5);

setPaintTicks and setPaintLabels

Horizontal Slider

The display of the tick marks and of their labels is turned on or off with the following methods: 

setPaintTicks ( boolean state )
setPaintLabels( boolean state )

Sometimes you want the knob of a slider to stop only at the tick marks so that the value of the slider is an integer multiple of the minor tick spacing. Use this method: 

setSnapToTicks( boolean state )

QUESTION 5:

Ask that ticks and labels be displayed as in the picture and that the knob snap to the ticks. 

slide = new JSlider( JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 79 );
slide.setMajorTickSpacing( 10 );
slide.setMinorTickSpacing(  5 );
slide.setPaintTicks (  );
slide.setPaintLabels(  );
slide.setSnapToTicks(  );
