The equation below can be used to find the length of a foot or forearm when you know one or the other.

(length of the foot) = 0.860 • (length of the forearm) + 3.302

If you let y = length of the foot and x = length of the forearm, this equation can be simplified to
y = 0.860x + 3.302.

Using this equation, how long would the foot of a person be if his forearm was 17 inches long?

Could this be represented as a function? Why or why not
