Hm...I'd need to know if you're speaking in terms of algebraic functions (like the difference between a "linear" function and a "quadratic" function), or trying to apply 2-dimensional definitions of "line" to 3-dimensional geometry (like...the equator on the globe is a line [also known as a "great circle"], but it doesn't follow the definition of a 2 dimensional line.
Linear means anything that forms a straight line. Nonlinear means the opposite. Something that doesn't form a straight line.
A linear function would be represented by a straight line graph, so if it's not a straight line, it's nonlinear
Nonlinear.
a graph that does not have a straight line...
A scale that is nonlinear. ~
y=x2 and y=lnx are two examples of nonlinear equations.
Linear motion is motion in a straight line, where an object moves along a path without changing direction. Nonlinear motion, on the other hand, involves movement that is not in a straight line, exhibiting changes in direction or speed throughout the motion. Examples of nonlinear motion include circular motion or random motion.

A nonlinear graph doesn't make a straight line.
Nonlinear means something is not in a line. It is a term commonly used in math, meaning two or more equations are not on the same line.
Here is a simple example of a nonlinear function. Y = X2 =====Build on that!
Linear means anything that forms a straight line. Nonlinear means the opposite. Something that doesn't form a straight line.

Nonlinear relations are mathematical relationships between variables where the graph of the relationship is not a straight line. This means that as one variable changes, the other variable does not change by a constant rate, resulting in a curved or non-linear shape on a graph. Examples of nonlinear relations include quadratic functions, exponential functions, and trigonometric functions.

It is a narrative that does not follow in a straight line.
