Graph A is larger than Graph B, so A must be linear and B must be exponential.

Graph A has a constant increase for equal intervals, so A must be linear and B must be exponential.

In a linear function, the graph will have a constant increase or decrease for equal intervals. In an exponential function, the graph will increase or decrease at an accelerating rate. Since Graph A shows a constant increase for equal intervals, it is a linear function. Graph B, which does not show a constant increase for equal intervals, must be an exponential function.
