The average length of a 6-year old fish is 29 inches, and that of a 21-year old fish is 54.8 inches. A fish's age and the average length are approximately linearly related. Let L be the average length (in inches) of the fish at age a years. Choose the correct equation that describes this data. OL= 1.72a + 18.68 O a = 18.68L + 1.72 OL= 18.68a+1.72 Oa = 1.72L + 18.68
