Of the bachelor’s degrees conferred in the United States in 1979/1980, approximately 48.4% were conferred on women. In 1989/1990, approximately 52.3% were conferred on women.

(a) Assuming this is a linear trend, find the linear equation that relates the percentage of degrees received by women to the number of years since 1979/1980 (x = 0 for 1979/1980).

(b) Use the linear equation to estimate the percentage of degrees conferred on women in 2003/2004 and in 2009/2010.
