I believe one of the relationships between x and y in a non-linear graph will be the slope of each point will be unproportional. Therefore, it will create a non-straight line (usually a curved line) on the graph. If it's a linear graph, the slope is proportional and the line will be straight. If anyone thinks this is not "straight to the point", please feel free to correct this.
{Added}. You are correct! The non-linear trace is curved. Linear means the trace is a straight line, produced when the y values are controlled by straightforwardly multiplying each x value by a constant which can be any number (except of course, 0).
A non-linear graph is one in which the y ordinates are controlled by x^N where N is not equal to 1, by a trigonometrical or logarithmic function of x; or in the particular case of the Hyperbola, the reciprocals of the x values.
What happens though in y = x^N when N does = 0? I'll leave it to you to spot the result - you don't need to calculate or plot it to realise the answer!

The graph doesn't intersect either axis.
A quadratic relationship is a mathematical relationship that can be expressed by a quadratic formula in which the highest exponent is two (i.e., x squared). On a graph, this relationship will look like a parabola.
it be constant
if X lies between 6&12 and Y lies between 24&36 the Y/X will ie between
that's true
