"On a coordinate plane, a line increases rapidly and then levels off."

Reason: exponential functions (or shifted exponentials like 1 − e^{−x}) show rapid change and approach a horizontal asymptote. The parabola is quadratic, the two mirrored curves are a hyperbola/reciprocal-type graph, and a gently curving upward line does not show the rapid-onset growth and asymptote characteristic of exponentials.
