Answer:
neither exponential nor linear
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear relationship will show a common difference between adjacent value. Here, the first differences between the first three values are 5 and 33. They are not the same, so the relation is not linear.
__
An exponential relationship will show first differences that are continuously increasing or decreasing by increasing or decreasing amounts (respectively).
As we showed, the difference between May 28 and May 27 is 33. This is more than the previous difference. However, the difference between May 30 and May 31 is only 28, which is less than a previous difference.
The relation is not exponential.
__
A graph points up the non-linearity of the relation.
