Answer 1

To determine if the table represents a linear or an exponential function, we can look at how the values of \( y \) change as \( x \) increases.

In the given table:

• When \( x = 1 \), \( y = 8 \)
• When \( x = 2 \), \( y = 11 \) (change of \( 3 \))
• When \( x = 3 \), \( y = 14 \) (change of \( 3 \))
• When \( x = 4 \), \( y = 17 \) (change of \( 3 \))

The change in \( y \) is constant (always \( 3 \)), which indicates that this is a linear relationship.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Linear.
