Answer:

900

Step-by-step explanation:

A candidate got 82%votes.

Loosing candidate get=(100-82)=18%

Difference between two votes.

=(82-18)%=64%

Let be the Total vote is=x.

64% of the total vote=576

$Or, 64 \%\times x= 576$

$Or, \frac{64}{100} \times x = 576$

$Or,x= \frac{576 \times 100}{64}$

$Or,x=900$

∴The total votes that were polled are 900.

A line has y intercept -6 and a x-intercept - 12. what is the equation of the line

koban [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x-6}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

The line passes through the points (-12, 0) and (0, 6)

(a) Calculate the slope of the line

$\begin{array}{rcl}m & =&\dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\ & = &\dfrac{6 - 0 }{0 - (-12)}\\\\& = &\dfrac{6}{-12}\\\\& = & -\dfrac{1}{2}\\\end{array}$

(b) Write the equation

The y-intercept is at x = -6.

$\text{The equation for the line is $\boxed{\mathbf{y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x-6}}$}$

The diagram shows the graph of the line passing through the two intercepts.
