Answer:

1. LINEAR

2. EXPONENTIAL

3. LINEAR

4. EXPONENTIAL

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to classify the options into exponential or linear.

So, according to the options, we have,

1. Every year 39 million cars cross the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco

Since, the number of cars passing through the bridge are constant.

So, we can say that this is a 'LINEAR' situation.

2. Every month a restaurant sells 2% more milkshakes to customers

As, the restaurant is selling 2% more milkshake every month.

This gives that the amount of milkshake increases every month by a factor of 2%.

Thus, this situation is 'EXPONENTIAL'.

3. Each week you get $10 and add it to your savings account

Since, the amount in the savings account is increasing by $10 every week.

So, this situation is 'LINEAR'.

4. The number of visitors to the Eiffel Tower in Paris increases by 1.5% each year

As, the number of visitors are increasing by a factor of 1.5% each year.

Thus, this situation is 'EXPONENTIAL'.
