2.1
A linear function models any process that has a constant rate of
change.
m = change in y-value
change in x-value
The graph of a linear function is a straight line.
A linear function has the form:
y = f(x) = b + mx
where
f is the name of the function.
b is the starting value or y intercept (f(0)).
m is the constant rate of change or slope.

An exponential function models any process in which function
values change by a fixed ratio or percentage.
The graph of an exponential function is curvy.
An exponential function has the form:
y = f(x) = c * ax
where
f is the name of the function.
c is the starting value or y intercept (f(0)).
a is the growth factor.
