Exponential.
It goes up very quickly.
It is a curve.
No its
linear, y=15 x + 86
I gose need to Write an equation to model the data but I need help
I got the answer from the answer key I gose need the equation but yet again I NeEd HeLp

First, it is a linear function, not exponential. Exponential has a rate of change in terms of multiplication or division, and Linear has a constant rate in terms of addition and subtraction. Soon, you'll learn about Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences. For a trick to know which sequences match with the functions, think of it like this: Arithmetic is Linear, and Geometric is Exponential.
Your answer would look like this: y=15x+86 because it is a linear function.
The 15 in the equation would be your rate of change(slope) and 86 would be the y-intercept
dont do it wrong
