Exponential

Explanation:

So let’s start off by looking at how much x is growing by each time

X is growing by 8 each time

Next look at how much y is growing by

-6 to -24 is a difference of 18

-24 to -96 is a difference of 72

And lastly -96 to -384 is a difference of 288

So we can now say that it is not linear because a linear equation grows by a constant number (like adding)

To determine if it is exponential see if it is growing by a constant multiplier

24 divided by 6 is 4

96 divided by 24 is 4

384 divided by 96 is 4

It is exponentially growing by 4
