A linear equation is one in which the variable is raised to the first power (i.e. x, not x squared or x cubed or anything else). An example would be y = mx + c. In an exponetial equation the variable is part of the exponent, e.g. y = 3^x + c.

They are the simplest form of relationship between two variables. Non-linear equations are often converted - by transforming variables - to linear equations.
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.

Equations are not linear when they are quadratic equations which are graphed in the form of a parabola
They are not. A vertical line is not a function so all linear equations are not functions. And all functions are not linear equations.
