At the beginning of 2000 (t=0), women's wages were 68% of men's wages and by the beginning of 2013 (t=0), women's wages were 68% of men's wages. If this gap between women's and men's wages continues to narrow linearly, then what percentage of men's wages will women's wages be at the beginning of 2020?

I would change my data to 2 given points of the form (t,w)
(0,68) and (13, 78), where t is in years after 2000, and w is the percentage of wages
slope = (78-68)/(13-0) = 10/13
w - 68 = (10/13)(t -0)
w = (10/13)t + 68

now replace t with 20 and evaluate w
