A linear relation is a straight line. A non-linear relation is not - it mayor may not be be a curve.
A linear function would be represented by a straight line graph, so if it's not a straight line, it's nonlinear
It can be thought of as a function that does not graph to a line when plotted. For example, y=4 or y=5x are linear. But y=x2 or y=x1/2 or y=ln(x) are not linear
A linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line.
To be linear, there should only be constants, and variables with constant coefficients. No powers of variables, or numbers raised to the power of a variable, or any other nonlinear function such as log, ln, sin, cos, tan, cosh, etc.

o function is given. However, if linear , then the rate of change is the same as the steepness of the graph line.

the graph is called a line
y = 2x + 3 is LINEAR. It is a straight line graph with a steepness/gradient of '2' ( The 'x' coefficient). The line passes through the y-axis at '3'
Linear function:No variable appears in the function to any power other than 1.A periodic input produces no new frequencies in the output.The function's first derivative is a number; second derivative is zero.The graph of the function is a straight line.Non-linear function:A variable appears in the function to a power other than 1.A periodic function at the input produces new frequencies in the output.The function's first derivative is a function; second derivative is not zero.The graph of the function is not a straight line.
A linear function is called "linear" because it represents a straight line. To graph a linear function, find two points that satisify that function, plot them, and then draw a straight line between them.
If the function is a straight line equation that passes through the graph once, then that's a function, anything on a graph is a relation!
