9.3. Anthropologists often try to reconstruct information using partial human remains at burialsites. For instance, after finding a femur (thighbone), they may want to predict how tall an individual was. An equation they use to do this is y = 61.4 + 2.4x, where y is the predicted height and x is the length of the femur, both in centimeters.3

(a) Identify the y-intercept and slope ofthe equation. Interpret the slope.
