Answer:
A body/ object is said to be in linear motion when it travels along a straight line or along a curve in a plane.
Example- Athlete running along a straight path.
Rectilinear motion ( is also a type of linear motion) which can be described by by a moving body/object that travels only straight path. In other words, when a body travels only along a straight path, it is said to be in rectilinear motion.
Example- Light travels in a rectilinear motion.
