Which statement about residuals plots for linear models is true?
  1. A curved pattern of points indicates nonlinear association between the variables.
  2. A random scatter of points suggests that the chosen model is a reasonable fit.

Data collected from internet ads for 1999 Subarus were used to create a model to estimate the asking price of the car based on the number of miles it had been driven.
The model has the equation:


The plot of residuals versus the predicted price is shown below.

Is the given price model equation linear, exponential, or power?
