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
If you mean y = 5x-3 then it is the linear equation of a straight line
It is a non-linear function of theta.
Below is a rule that is an example of a non-linear function when b is 49, a is 7 and a is a function of b: a = square root of b 7 = square root 49 7=7
If it can be written in the form y = mx + c where m and c are constants [or, equivalently, ax + by = k where a, b and k are constants] then y is a linear function of x.
