Studdy Solution
The town's population growth is not linear.
The population increases by a *percentage* each year, not a fixed amount.
This means the growth is not constant, so it can't be modeled by a linear function.
The other situations (elevator descent, savings, and data plan) all involve constant changes, making them linear.
So the answer is the town's population growth.
