<h2>Answer: slope = - ¹³/₁₇ </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question gives us two points, (9,-6) and (-8,7), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
<u>Finding the Slope </u>
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= (7 - (- 6)) ÷ (-8 - 9)
= - ¹³/₁₇
<em><u>Checking my answer:</u></em>
Finding the Equation
<em>We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:</em>
<em> ⇒ </em><em>y - (-6) = - ¹³/₁₇ (x - 9)</em>

Answer:
The total number of eligible voters in the town = 1224 ( app.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the total number of eligible voters = p
Now, the number of votes received by Stan Fitz = 542
The number of votes received by Elizabeth Stuckey = 430
The number of votes received by Gene Sterner = 130
So, the total number of votes received in total = 542 + 430 + 130 = 1,102
Now, only the 90% of total voters p voted in the election.
⇒ 90% of p = 1102
or, p ≈ 1224
Hence, the total number of eligible voters in the town = 1224 ( app.)
