The table shows the percentage of male and female populations in a certain county employed in the work force in certain years since 1989. Model the data algebraically with linear equations of the form y=mx+b. Use the 1989 and 1995 data to comkplete the slopes. Use the year as x and the employment data as y.
Year 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995
