It is non-linear. Try graphing it, and see:
Calculate y, when x equals various values, such as -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Then, plot the points. Do they lie on a straight line? No, they lie on a bullet-shaped curve, called a parabola, if you have plotted the points correctly.
A quadratic function in x is one whose highest term is a multiple of x2, and the graph of any quadratic function has a shape like that described above; not a straight line.

Is this equation linear or nonlinear x plus y equals 4?
It is linear because you're just adding numbers. There are no exponents.
Is 5xto the second power plus xto the sixth power equals 12 linear or nonlinear?
Nonlinear
Is 3x plus 2y equals 7 linear or nonlinear?
Linear. The only power for the variables is 1.
What is the linear equation of y equals 2x plus 1?
y = 2x + 1 IS a linear equation!
Is this equation linear or nonlinear x2 plus y3 4?
Without an equality sign the given terms can't be considered to be any kind of an equation.
Is this equation linear or nonlinear x plus y equals 4?
It is linear because you're just adding numbers. There are no exponents.
Is 3x plus 2 equals 0 linear or nonlinear?
It is linear.
Is 5xto the second power plus xto the sixth power equals 12 linear or nonlinear?
Nonlinear
Is y equals x plus 2 an nonlinear equation?
No.
Is 3x plus 2y equals 7 linear or nonlinear?
Linear. The only power for the variables is 1.
What is a non-linear equation?
A nonlinear equation does not produce a straight line and the exponent is to the second power or more. x square plus 3y =5 is an example of a nonlinear equation.
Is c plus d2 equals 36 linear or nonlinear?
If by d2 you mean d squared then it is non linear
Is 5xy plus 4 equals 9 linear or nonlinear?
5xy+4=9
Is c plus d squared equals 36 linear or nonlinear?
It is linear in c and non-linear in d. If both c and d are variables, then it is non-linear.
What is the linear equation of y equals 2x plus 1?
y = 2x + 1 IS a linear equation!
What kind of equation is ax plus b equals 0 in?
A linear equation.
Is this equation linear or nonlinear x2 plus y3 4?
Without an equality sign the given terms can't be considered to be any kind of an equation.
