Question 1103707: The weight y (in pounds)of a male taller than 60 in. can be roughly approximated by the linear equation y = 5.5 x -220, where x is the height of the male in inches.Use this equation to approximate the weights of men whose heights are 62 inches,66 inches, and 72 inches. I tried y= 5.5·62 -220, I got 121, that seems wrong because a male at that height would not be that slim. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No that's correct.
62 inches is only 5'2" so yes maybe on the lighter side but not out of the question.
