Predicting Graphs

Specifically referring to ex. 5.5a/b on page 233 in the first TBR physics book.

How do you determine whether a graph will be linear or exponential? The relationship between frequency and wavelength is inverse, but how do you decide that it's exponential and not linear? Same goes for the relationship between wavelength and speed of waves.

Inverse graphs are just something you should know. Make up some values and graph it out yourself to see that it will always be the same shape.
