No, linear means it has an exponent of 1. the only time this is not true is with differential equations. or if it is (x/7)-15^2 instead of ((x/7)-15)^2

That is not a valid equation because the linear expression is not a polynomial. You can't have a variable in the denominator.
Slope= rise over run
Yes, 3x+4y=10 is a linear equation, because you can move the x over to the other side, and divide by 4 to get y=-3/4x+5/2. Generally, any equation in the form ax+by=c is a linear equation.
no.
A linear equation is the equation of a line and that consists of an infnite number of points. What you have, in x = -4 and y = -1/3, is a single point. A single point is not a line and so there cannot be a linear equation (suitable for a line) to represent a point.
