Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses
Linear describes a relationship that exhibits a straight line when plotted on a graph, for example. Non liner is any thing other than a straight line.
A linear relation is a straight line. A non-linear relation is not - it mayor may not be be a curve.
Any shape other than a straight line!
The graph of a linear function is a line with a constant slope. The graph of an exponential function is a curve with a non-constant slope. The slope of a given curve at a specified point is the derivative evaluated at that point.
