Difference between linear and exponential function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A linear function grows ( or shrinks) at a constant rate called its slope. An exponential function grows ( or shrinks) at a rate which increases(or decreases) over time. From a practical standpoint linear growth (or shrinkage) is simple and predictable. Exponential growth is essentially out of control and unsustainable and exponential decay soon becomes negligible.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A linear function is of the form: y = mx + b An exponential function is of the form: y = b^x The graph of a linear function is a straight line. The graph of an exponential function looks somewhat like a parabola that grows very quickly.
