Answer

$(a)$ See the image below. $(b)$ $y = 1.88x + 82.65$ Where $y$ is height, and $x$ is length. $(c)$ $y = 191.69cm$

Work Step by Step

$(a)$ See the image above. $(b)$ Using regression line calculator, we can input the data and calculate the equation of the line: $y = 1.88x + 82.65$ Where $y$ is height, given for $x$ $cm$ length. $(c)$ If $x=58cm$ $y=1.88\times 58 + 82.65 = 191.69cm$
