A linear relationship means that the slope of the line is proportional, which means that the line is straight. In contrast to the linear realtionship, the non-linear relationship's slope is not proportional and the line will curved and not straight. Formula of calculating the slope is the difference of y divided by the difference of x.
Linear system has a proportional slope, which gives the system a straight line. And, a non-linear system has a non-proportional slope, which is represented by a non-straight line (usually a curved one). Feel free to edit if you think this is not to the point.
A linear scale is a scale with equal divisions for equal vales, for example a ruler. A non linear scale is where the relationship between the variables is not directly proportional.
It is a relationship in which changes in one variable are accompanied by changes of a constant amount in the other variable and that the variables are not both zero.In terms of an equation, it requires y = ax + b where a and b are both non-zero.

Proportional is when it is proportional.
They aren't.
A linear scale is a scale with equal divisions for equal vales, for example a ruler. A non linear scale is where the relationship between the variables is not directly proportional.
If the graph is a straight line through the origin, sloping upwards to the right, then it is a proportional linear relationship.
The difference between linear and non-linear PCM is LPCM represents sample amplitudes on a linear scale. LPCM specifies that the values stored are proportional to the amplitudes, rather than representing say the logarithm of the amplitude or being related in some other manner. While non-linear each step size may vary in amplitude.
Friction losses in a machine are typically non-linear. Friction force is proportional to normal force but can vary with factors like surface roughness, lubrication, temperature, and sliding velocity, causing non-linear behavior. As a result, friction losses may change unpredictably with different operating conditions.
Non linear
A scatterplot is the best tool. Regression or correlation can often fail to find non-linear relationships.
