Linear equations have a variable only to the first degree(something to the power of 1). For example: 2x + 1 = 5 , 4y - 95 = 3y are linear equations. Non-linear equation have a variable that has a second degree or greater. For example: x2 + 3 = 19, 3x3 - 10 = 14 are non-linear equations.
A linear scale is a scale with equal divisions for equal vales, for example a ruler. A non linear scale is where the relationship between the variables is not directly proportional.
It means if you plot the function it is not on a straight line For example y = 3x + 4 is linear function y = x squared is non linear
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.
