Linear function's length will grow in a straight line.

Exponential will have a curve on it's line.

> Linear functions take the form y = mx + b. > An exponential function is in the form y = ax. > Linear functions change at a constant rate per unit interval.
> An exponential function changes by a common ratio over equal intervals.
