6. The table below shows data regarding the median age of women at first marriage in 1970 and in 2003.
YEAR MEDIAN AGE OF WOMEN AT FIRST MARRIAGE
1970 20.8
2003 25.0
A. Use the two data points to find a linear function that fits the data. Let x= the number of years since 1970 and A = the median age at first marriage x years from 1970.
B. Use the function to predict the median age of women at first marriage in 2008 and in 2015.
