I'm sorry, I don't have much. I have the same problem. The answer I have so far is they are alike because they both have to have a constant rate as they increase. You can't change the slope or the exponent after going up a graph while graphing.

is the relationship linear or exponential
You find out if a problem is linear or exponential by looking at the degree or the highest power; if the degree or the highest power is 1 or 0, the equation is linear. But if the degree is higher than 1 or lower than 0, the equation is exponential.
There are no points of discontinuity for exponential functions since the domain of the general exponential function consists of all real values!
All linear equations are functions but not all functions are linear equations.
The linear function changes by an amount which is directly proportional to the size of the interval. The exponential changes by an amount which is proportional to the area underneath the curve. In the latter case, the change is approximately equal to the size of the interval multiplied by the average value of the function over the interval.
