Question 939212: There is a linear relationship between a woman's height and the length of her radius bone. It can be stated this way: Height increases by 3.9 inches for each 1-inch increase in the length of the radius. Suppose a 62-inch-tall woman has a 10-inch-long radius bone. Use this information to write a linear equation that relates height h to the length r of the radius. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

slope = dy/dx
slope = (3.9)/(1)
slope = 3.9

h - 62 = 3.9(r - 10)
h = 3.9(r - 10) + 62
h = 3.9r - 39 + 62
h = 3.9r + 23
