Answer 2

Explanation:

Whenever a function is logarithmic function, we get for evenly spaced y,

say y = log x

y+d = log x1

y+2d = log x2

We get

d =
`log (x_1)/(x) =log (x_2)/(x_1)`

In other words we get the ratios of consecutive x values is constant equal to the difference in consecutive y's.
