Officials search a forest for a missing man who is 6feet 3inches tall. They find an adult male femur that is 23inches long. Is it possible that the femur belongs to the missing man?
Use the following information. The relationship between the length of an adult's femur (thigh bone) and the height of the adult can be approximated by the linear equations

y = 0.514x - 14.75 Female
y = 0.532x - 17.03 Male

Where y is the length of the femur in inches and x is the height of the adult in inches (see figure).
