Jeremy is on the planning committee for the rock climbing club. He is putting together a trip where members can go outdoor rock
climbing. He is trying to determine how high the group should climb and how long the trip should last. He calls multiple parks in the area that offer rock climbing and collects data on the height of the rock formations and the average time it takes people to reach the top and come back down. The data he found is shown.

Answer:
f(x) is linear
g(x) is exponential
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function will always have the same rate of change between equally distant points, while an exponential function will have an increasingly large rate of change between equally distant points.
First, look at f(x). All these points are equally distant at 2 units apart on the x-axis, so they can be directly compared:
All of these points are the same distance apart on the y, so f(x) must be a linear function.
Now look at g(x). These are also all equally distant at only 1 unit apart.
These are very clearly not the same distance apart on the y, so g(x) must be the exponential function.
