You can only "decide" after you have done some analysis, you appear to
be just guessing.
Is there a common difference between consecutive y values ?
if so , you have a linear.
is there a common ration between consecutive y values?
if so, you have an exponential.
Did you check for those properties???

y(n+1) = 7 y(n)
y = a b^ x
if x = 0 y = 0.6 = a b^0 = a
so
y = 0.6 b^x
if x = 1, y = 4.2
4.2 = 0.6 b^1 = 0.6 b
so
b = 7
so
y = 0.6 * 7^x
==================
check
if x = 3
y = 0.6 * 7^3 = 205.8 sure enough

y = 0.6 b^x
if x = 1, y = 4.2
4.2 = 0.6 b^1 = 0.6 b
