How can you identify a linear function from a table of values?

Back

A linear function will have a constant rate of change between the x-values and y-values. This means that the difference in y-values divided by the difference in x-values will be the same for any two points.

How can you identify an exponential function from a table of values?

Back

An exponential function will show a constant multiplicative rate of change. This means that the ratio of consecutive y-values will be constant.
