Question
One of the line graphs below gives the percent share of the U.S. footwear market for shoes produced in the United States. The other line gives the percent share of the U.S. footwear market for imports.a. Estimate the coordinates of the point of intersection of the graphs.b. What important percent-of-the-market information does your answer to part a give?(GRAPH NOT COPY)
Step 1
By looking at the graph, we can estimate that the point of intersection is around the year 1978 and at 50% on the y-axis. So, the coordinates of the point of intersection are approximately $(1978, 50\%)$. Show more…
