a. Find a linear function y = g(x) that models the data shown in the figure, with x equal to the number of years after 1950 and y equal to the number of years the average 65-year-old man is estimated to live beyond age 65.


b. Graph the data and the model on the same set of axes.


c. Use the model to estimate g(130) and explain what it means.
