Question

Difference between linear and non linear equation ​

Answer 1

  Linear Equations A simple linear equation is of the form: y = mx + c A linear equation looks like a straight line when graphed. It has a constant slope value. The degree of a linear equation is always 1. Superposition principle is applicable to a system characterized by a linear equation. The output of a linear system is directly proportional to its input

Non-Linear Equations A simple non-linear equation is of the form: ax2 + by2 = c A non-linear equation look like a curve when graphed. It has a variable slope value. The degree of a non-linear equation is at least 2 or other higher integer values. With the increase in the degree of the equation, the curvature of the graph increases. Superposition principle does not apply to the systems characterized by non-linear equations. The input and output of a non-linear system is not directly related
