Analyzing Departures from Linearity

AP Statistics· difficulty 3/5

A plot of log(y) vs log(x) is approximately linear.

log(x) log(y)

The original relationship is best described by:

  • A

    A constant function

  • B

    A linear model

  • C

    An exponential model y = a * b^x

  • D

    A power model y = a * x^b
