Ans:
when two quantities depend on each other (like speed and distance), then when an amount increase in one quantity causes a corresponding amount increase or decrease in the other quantity that is the same regardless of the value at which the measurement was taken, then that's linear.
Sounds a big horrible.
OK, if you drew a graph of one quantity against another, it would form a straight line, and we say it increases or decreases (depending on whether the graph is increasing or decreasing) linearly. it means in creases with a power of 1, with a common ratio for increasing values of x.
OK, what if it was y= ax^2? This is not linear, because it increases with a power of 2.
A linear line takes the form y = mx +c
where m is the ratio and c determines the point the graph cuts the x=0 line.

What is the difference between linear and non linear problems?
Nonlinear do not satisfy the superposition principle. Linear problems, as implied, do.
What is difference between linear and nonlinear control system?
linear system is like a chemistry equation or math equation where on both sides it must balance. Nonlinear is a math equation or physics that does not appear to have a direct answer just like chaos theory. lulu254ever
What is the relation between centimeters and inches linear or nonlinear?
2.54 centimetres = 1 inch and tat is linear. There is no non-linear inch.
What is difference between linear and nonlinear dynamics in mathematics and physics?
In linear dynamic systems, the motion traces out an orbit or trajectory in phase space that's a looping curve, mathematically predictable. In nonlinear systems the trajectory in phase space may be a fractal structure, leading to motion that is inherently unpredictable (chaos) from its equations of motion.
Is y-83 plus x7 linear or nonlinear?
