Since 42% of the voters voted and 12000 people voted, we can conclude that:
12,000=42% of the population.

I set this up like this:
12,000=0.42 x, substituting x for the total population.
Divide both sides by 0.42 to get x by itself.
x= 28571.43.

Your final answer is 28,572 people, because you can't have 0.43 of a person.

What equation is graphed in this figure?
topjm [15]

Answer:

The third equation: y+2=-3(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points on the line are (-1,4) and (1,-2).

Slope of the line passing through two points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is given as:

m=(y_{2} -y_{1})/ (x_{2} -x_{1})

Here, (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) are (-1,4) and (1,-2).

Therefore, slope is equal to, m=(-2-4 )/ (1-(-1)

                                               m=-6/2

                                               m=-3  

Now, equation of a straight line with slope m and points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is given as:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\\y-y_{2}=m(x-x_{2})

Now, if we use the 2nd form, then x_{2}=1,y_{2}=-2.

So, the equation is given as :

y-(-2)=-3(x-1)\\y+2=-3(x-1)
