Discrete graph.
The given table contents cannot be described by a function equation! The number of passengers doesn't depend on the stop number. And it varies with no constant to refer to to draw a continuous graph.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

The answer is discrete graph.

Explanation:

A continuous function has the x values as any points in the interval, including fractions, decimals, etc.

A discrete function has the x values to be only specific points in the interval, like only integers or whole numbers.

Here the stops and passenger relation is discrete and not continuous. The graph formed will not be a smooth one as in a continuous function.
