A linear function
It is called a graph cut.Example: increments go from 0 straight to 40

There is no specific name. It could be a non-linear graph, or a scatter graph.
A linear function is called "linear" because it represents a straight line. To graph a linear function, find two points that satisify that function, plot them, and then draw a straight line between them.
a graph that does not have a straight line
A graph that is a straight line is called a linear graph. It represents a linear relationship between two variables, typically expressed in the form of a linear equation, such as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Linear graphs indicate a constant rate of change between the variables.
It could be a velocity graph or an acceleration graph. If the plot is a straight line it is constant velocity. If the plot is a curve it is acceleration.
A line graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line is called a nonlinear line graph. This type of graph represents relationships that may involve curves or varying rates of change, indicating that the relationship between the variables is not constant. Nonlinear graphs can depict complex patterns, such as exponential growth or periodic fluctuations.
