SOCIAL SCIENCE: Equal Pay for Equal Work Women’s pay has often lagged behind men’s, although Title VII of the Civil Rights Act requires equal pay for equal work. Based on data from 2000–2008, women’s annual earnings as a percent of men’s can be approximated by the formula y = 0.51x177.2, where x is the number of years since 2000. (For example, x = 10 gives y = 82.3, so in 2010 women’s wages were about 82.3% of men’s wages.)
a. Graph this line on the window [0, 30] by [0, 100].
b. Use this line to predict the percentage in the year 2020. [Hint: Which x-value corresponds to 2020? Then use TRACE, EVALUATE, or TABLE.]
c. Predict the percentage in the year 2025.
