    1998

    y=6x+1944

    Step-by-step explanation:

    from the question we know that 9% of male workers prefer female boss in 1998. but we can predict a model for this by getting the slope of the graph first, then slotting into equation of a line graph

    y=the year

    x=the percentage of men who prefer a female boss

    s=y2-y1 / (x2-x1)

    s=1998-1974 / (9-5)

    s=24/4

    s=6

    so from equation of a linear graph

    y=mx+c

    y=6x+c ... 1

    when y=1998, x=9

    1998=6 (9) + c

    c=1944

    from equation 1

    y=6x+1944
