What will be an ideal response?
No. Simple interest increase is linear. The graph is visibly not linear in that time period. Further, we can compare slopes between marked points to see if the slope remained roughly constant: From December 1997 to August 1999 the slope was 
while, from August 1999 to March 2000 the slope was 
. These slopes are quite different.
