Question

The data in the adjacent table depicts the length of a person's forehand and their corresponding height. Based on this data, a student finds a relationship between the height (y) and the forehand length (x) as y = ax + b, where a, b are constant.

Length ‘x’ of
forehand (in cm)
Height 'y' 
(in inches)
35 56
45 65
50 69.5
55 74

Find the height of a person whose forehand length is 40 cm

Sum

Solution

The relation is y = 0.9x + 24.5

When the forehand length is 40 cm, then height is 60.5 inches.

y = 0.9x + 24.5

= 0.9 × 40 + 24.5

= 36 + 24.5

= 60.5 feet
