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.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

length of foot = y

length of forearm = x = 17

Equation: y = 0.860x + 3.302

Plug in 17 for x in the equation, and simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS, first multiply, then combine like terms:

y = (0.860)(17) + 3.302

y = 14.62 + 3.302

y = 17.922

length of foot = y = 17.922 inches long

~

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

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
