Understanding Linear and Exponential Functions

The video tutorial explains how to determine if a function is linear or exponential by analyzing patterns in a table of values. It demonstrates how to identify a linear function through repeated addition and calculate the slope using ordered pairs. The tutorial then guides viewers on writing the linear equation in slope-intercept form and verifies it graphically by plotting points on a coordinate plane.

What pattern in function values indicates a linear function?

• Repeated division

• Repeated multiplication

• Repeated subtraction

• Repeated addition
