There are two uses of the word "linear" in math. The first is simple: linear function is one who's graph is a straight line. This happens when the highest power of a polynomial x is 1, ie no terms with x^2 or x^3 or higher (or lower than 1), only x^1 (just x).
Another use of linear-
A function is also said to be "linear" if it has the following properties: (1) Additivity, ie f(x+y) = f(x) + f(y)
(2) f(c*x)=c*f(x), where c is a constant

How do you know is an equation is linear?
You know if an equation is linear if it is a straight line. You can also know if the equation is y = mx + b where there are no absolute values nor exponents.
Why Do you Study linear equations?

How are quadratic equation different from linear equation?
On a graph ' A linear Equation produces a Straight line A Quadratic Eq'n produces a Curved line.
How does the slope of a linear equation differ from the slope of a quadratic equation?

How do you know if numbers show linear relationship?
A linear equation looks like any other equation. It is made up of two expressions set equal to each other. A linear equation is special because: It has one or two variables. No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction. When you find pairs of values that make the linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points for any one equation lie on the same line. Linear equations graph as straight lines.

How do you know if an equation is linear?
When 'x' or 'y' are NOT raised to any power. e.g. y = mx + c linear y - c = mx linear x = ( y - c) /m linear. However. y = x^(2) or y = x^(3) or y = x^(n a number greater than '1') are not not linear. or y^(2) = ax + c is not linear.

Is a linear equation the same as a function?
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.

How do you figure out if an equation is a linear equation?
An equation is linear if the highest power of the unknown in the equation is 1for example an equation with just a variable to the power one such as x, y and so on is linear but one with x2, y2 and above is not linear
What is a solution of a linear equation called?
