Moyer · Answer 1

The answer is a postive non linear relationship. It basically means the amount increases, however, it doesn't follow a distinguished pattern. For example, 1 and 5 and 2 and 8 don't match up. The answer couldn't be negative, because the amount of money she is earning is increasing. So, it fits the scenerio you just describe to me. A relationship where the amount of money is increasing, but not in a pattern.
