Linear defines a relation between variables that forms a straight line.

Scalar is a singular quantity with magnitude only

For example in the equation y = x we have a linear equation.

If a car can reach a speed of 80 mph, speed is a scalar with magnitude 80

If the car is traveling at 80 mph directly East, we have velocity which is a vector - speed and direction ( more than one quantity)
