Please don't post Latex. Copy and paste Mathematica code in input form,
so that anybody can copy it back into Mathematica and evaluate it.
I'm not completely certain what values of a you would like to use (what
step size between values?), but here are a couple of possibilities.
f[x_] = -x^2 + 6 x;
g[a_][x_] = a x;
list = Flatten[{f[x], Table[g[a][x], {a, 0, 3, .2}]}];
Plot[list, {x, 0, 7}]
Or make it interactive:
f[x_] = -x^2 + 6 x;
g[a_][x_] = a x;
Manipulate[
Plot[{f[x], g[a][x]}, {x, 0, 7}, PlotRange -> {-10, 20}], {a, 0,
3, .05, Appearance -> "Labeled"}]
