Answer 1

Answer:

A linear function is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

An exponential equation is written as:

y = A*(r)^x

Where A is the initial quantity and r is the rate of growth.

If a and A are both positives, the similar characteristic of both types of functions is that as x increases, then the value of y will also increase. Then both functions are increasing functions.

They are different in how they increase, while a linear function increases at a constant rate, an exponential function increases slow at the beginning and really fast as x increases, as you can see in the image below where we compare the two types of functions, the green one is the linear function, and the blue one is the exponential function.
