B717 rear slides

I don't know the B717 has rear evacuation slides

Indeed. It’s a thing for the DC-9 and subsequent models.

One of the complaints about some other rear engined aircraft is that there are no means of escape from the rear… think the Fokker 70/100, the CRJs and early ERJs.

Where is the APU?

Tailcone exit

I think the APU is sort of above/between the other 2 engines with an inlet on one side

Where is the APU?

In the general vicinity of the aft exit. I believe the APU exhaust is on the right hand side just below the badse of the fin in that photo, the inlet was a scoop device from the fuselage that deployed as required.

Correction the scoop was on the DC-9, MD80 series. On 717, the inlet was on the left hand side of the fuselage just above the engine if looking at it side on.
