Solution

The correct option is A y=2x
Let us consider the equation y = 3x+2

It is in the form of equation y = mx + c, where m = slope, c is y-intercept

The constant rate of change (slope) = 3

A function is said to be linear if it has constant rate of change

So, y = 3x + 2 is a linear function

Let us consider the equation y = 2x

It is represented in the form of
y=a×bx
x y
1 2
2 4
3 8

The difference of value y is not constant.

Therefore, it has no constant rate of change

So, y = 2x represents a exponential form

The graphs of the two functions are represented as:
