4/7 = y/5019....with y being yes votes
cross multiply
(7)(y) = (4)(5019)
7y = 20076
y = 20076/7
y = 2868 <=== yes votes
total of yes and no votes : 5019 + 2868 = 7887
I can’t understand why everyone complicates this question. It can be easily solved by similar triangles.
In this png, we have something to make sure.

This also means AD=BD

This is our basic construction of D, which is going to help us.

Actually these conditions suffice. Because I am just proving that △ACD∼△BCA

In rectangle ABCD
AB * AC = area
In another rectangle WXYZ
WX * WY = area
The sides must be equal or have same multiples and should be divisible by each other
The tangent of the angle is
... tan(α) = ay/ax = -8.6/6.1
Then the angle (measured CCW from +x) is
... α = arctan(-86/61) ≈ 305°
The answer is C (-1,-4)
I got the answer by graphing the equation and plotting each the points down to see which one lies on the graph
