The Climatologist that is working in the cave is trying to determine the age and growth rate of stalactites,
to get a more accurate picture of the age of the existing stalactites. The following table contains the
estimated age (to the nearest thousand) of the sample and the length of the sample in micrometers. Find a
linear model that express length as a function of the age.
