A zoologist studied the wild cat population of two islands during a four year span - Meow Island and Purr Island. She collected the following data about the population.



1. How would you describe the growth of each island ?

2. Which do you think will be modeled by a linear function ?

Answer 1

Meow Island has a linear function.

Explanation:

Meow Island increases by multiply the input by 3 for each coordinate. On the other hand, Purr Island increases by adding 4. Linear functions increase with multiplication, not by addition, and so Meow Island increases linearly.
