V. Part 2.2
The wage gap is used to compare the status of women's earnings relative to men's. The wage gap is expressed as a percent and is calculated by dividing the median, or middlemost, annual earnings for women by the median annual earnings for men. The bar graph shows the wage gap for selected years from 1980 through 2010.

The function G(x) = -0.01x2 + x + 60 models the wage gap, as a percent, x years after 1980. The graph of function G is shown to the right of the actual data. Use this information to solve parts a and b of the exercise.
a. Find and interpret G(10). Identify this information as a point on the graph of the function.
b. Does G(10) overestimate or underestimate the actual data shown by the bar graph? By how much?
W. Part 2.3
If a function is defined by an equation, explain how to find its domain.

The linear function f(x) = -0.28x + 1.7 models the percentage of U.S. taxpayers who were audited by the IRS, f(x), x years after 1996.
Find the slope of the model. Then describe what this means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable.
Y. Part 2.5
In the following Exercise, use the given conditions to write an equation for each line in point-slope form and slope-intercept form.
