Jessica plots the data points relating the amount of money she needs to repay a loan and the number of months she has been making payments. She calculates two regression models. Which is true?

Question illustration
A
The linear model better represents the situation because the amount she owes is decreasing by about the same amount every 6 months.
B
The linear model better represents the situation because according to the exponential model, the repayment amount will never be 0.
C
The exponential model better represents the situation because the amount she owes decreases by about the same amount every 6 months.
D
The exponential model better represents the situation because according to the linear model, the repayment amount will eventually be negative.

The table shows the relationship between time spent running and distance traveled.

Question illustration
A
linear, because the r value for the linear model is closest to 1
B
exponential, because the r value for the exponential model is closest to 0
C
linear, because the rate of change between each pair of points is exactly 520
D
exponential, because the rate of change between each pair of points is 1.98
