There is a 10 year span between 1990 and 1999.
For boy's soccer, The members in 1990 were
For girls soccer, the members in 1990 were
For football, the members in 1990 were
The linear equations have the form y = mx + b}}}. m is the slope
and b is the 1990 membership (x=0, since I'm saying 0 is 1990)

for boy's soccer

for girl's soccer

for football

For 2001

students in boys soccer

in girls soccer

in football

Boys soccer gets 43%, girls soccer gets 35%, and football gets 22%
