Revolt · Accepted Answer

To identify the type of growth, first check that the x-values are in equal intervals. Then, look at the y-values. If the y-values increase by a constant amount (common difference), the data represents linear growth. If the y-values increase by a constant multiplier (common ratio), the data represents exponential growth.
