Dr. Ward discovered a male femur that was 17.9 inchs in length, she concluded that the male was 65.66 inches tall. Later she discovered another male femur that was 21.6 inches long and she estimated his height to be 72.52. Let x=the length of the male femur and y=the height of the individual. Write a linear function for the height in inches, of the male in terms of the length of the femur.

Use the equation you formed to estimate the height of a male given that the femur is 19.6 inches.
