Answer:
230
Explanation:
First, we find the equation fo the line point-slope form.
The slope of the line is
[tex]m=\frac{209-202}{63-60}=\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
With the slope of the line in hand, we now write the point-slope form of the equation using the point (63, 209)
[tex]y-209=\frac{7}{3}(x-63)[/tex]
With the equation of the line in hand, we now use it to find the value of y at x = 72.
Putting in x = 72 in the above equation gives
[tex]y-209=\frac{7}{3}(72-63)[/tex][tex]y-209=\frac{7}{3}\cdot9[/tex][tex]y-209=21[/tex]
adding 209 to both sides gives
[tex]y=230[/tex]
which is our answer!
Hence, the predicted height for someone with a femur length of 72 cm is 230 cm.
