Linear refers to the graph line. If the line on the graph is a straight line, then the plots/relationship that make up that line are linear. Conversely, if the line is anything other than linear (such as any kind or curve...parabola, hyperbola, etc), then the relationship is said to be non-linear.
For example, if you graph the following sets of (X,Y) coordinates, you will get a straight line that slopes upward to the right: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), etc. But the following set of (X,Y) coordinates will produce a line that curves: (1,1), (2,3), (3,5).

Is transistor linear or non linear?
linear in active region....
What is the definition of linear speed?
Linear speed is defined as the speed that the body moves in a linear path. It is the distance that is traveled within a given time for a linear path.
Is v linear?
If v (velocity) is constant, then it's straight (linear). If v is changing due to acceleration, then it is a curve (non-linear)
What is a linear object?
an object which moves linearly is called a linear object.
What is the formula of linear momentum?
linear momentum=product of mass and velocity
What is linear position?
Positive Linear Relationships are is there is a relationship in the situation. In some equations they aren't linear, but other relationships are, that's a positive linear Relationship.
What is positive linear relationship?
Positive Linear Relationships are is there is a relationship in the situation. In some equations they aren't linear, but other relationships are, that's a positive linear Relationship.
Do linear graphs represent proportional relationships?
Do all linear graphs have proportional relationship
What are examples of linear relationships?
examples of linear relationships are: - Y= mX + b -Y= mx -Y= 2(6) + 2 - Y= 2(6) - 2 - Y= 3(5)
What shows the relationships between quantities?
A scatterplot is the best tool. Regression or correlation can often fail to find non-linear relationships.
What are some common mathematical relationships encountered in physics?
quadratic, inverse, linear
Because Amy Tan is interested in the forces that shape relationships between?
Non linear
How is point slope used in math or science?
To estimate linear relationships between variables.
What is Linear and Non-Linear Relationships?
A linear relationship means that the slope of the line is proportional, which means that the line is straight. In contrast to the linear realtionship, the non-linear relationship's slope is not proportional and the line will curved and not straight. Formula of calculating the slope is the difference of y divided by the difference of x.
Are linear relationships proportional?
A relationship that occurs when variable quantities are directly proportional to one another. A linear relationship can be represented on a graph as a STRAIGHT LINE. Linear relationships always follow the formula: y=mx+b where y is the value of the y-coordinate, where my is the slope of the line, where x is the value of the x-coordinate, and b is the y-intercept
When cost relationships are linear total variable prime costs will vary in proportion to changes in?
Volume of Production
What are the similarities between linear relationships and quadratic relationships?
All linear equations of the form y = mx + b, where m and b are real-valued constants, are functions. A linear equation of the form x = a, where a is a constant is not a function. Functions must be one-to-one. That means each x-value is paired with exactly one y-value.
