A. It is an exponential function because the factor between each x-
and y-value is constant.
O
B. It is a linear function because the y-values increase by an equal
difference over equal intervals of x-values.
C. It is a linear function because the difference y - x for each row is
constant.

Option "B. It is a linear function because the y-values increase by an equal  difference over equal intervals of x-values" is  the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to check the function for linear or exponential.

To check for exponential function, we have to find the factor between y values and x values that is:

So,

For x=1

The function is not an exponential function because the factor between each x-value and y-value is not same.

Now,

Let us find the difference between x-values and y-values

Let

So for x-values

And

As we can see that the y-values increase by an equal  difference over equal intervals of x-values so the function is a linear function.

Hence,

Option "B. It is a linear function because the y-values increase by an equal  difference over equal intervals of x-values" is  the correct answer
