Given a set of data. What steps would you take to identify whether the data showed linear or exponential growth

Make sure that the x-values are spaced apart in equal intervals.

Determine whether the y-values increase by the same amount or by the same ratio.

Decide that the data is linear because the y-values increase by a common difference.

Decide that the data is exponential because the y-values increase by a ratio or factor.
