To determine which scatterplot best models an exponential relationship, you would typically look for a pattern where the points rise or fall rapidly and then level off, either increasing or decreasing.
An exponential growth scatterplot would show points that start off slowly and then increase more quickly, forming a curve that becomes steeper. Conversely, an exponential decay scatterplot would start higher and quickly drop off, also forming a curved line.
Without seeing the specific scatterplots, I can’t definitively identify which one models an exponential relationship. However, I recommend looking for those characteristics:
- A curve that shows rapid increases or decreases, rather than a straight line.
- A pattern where the spacing of points grows or shrinks asymmetrically.
If you can describe the scatterplots or provide details about the trends, I can help you better identify which one represents an exponential relationship.
