Question

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? Be sure to show your work using the equation above.

Answer 1

17.922 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

y=0.860x + 3.302

y= 0.860(17) + 3.302

y= 14.62 + 3.302

y= 17.922

Hope it helps!!
