Linear defines a relation between variables that forms a straight line.
Scalar is a singular quantity with magnitude only
For example in the equation y = x we have a linear equation.
If a car can reach a speed of 80 mph, speed is a scalar with magnitude 80
If the car is traveling at 80 mph directly East, we have velocity which is a vector - speed and direction ( more than one quantity)
