Differentiate Between Linear and Nonlinear Equations

Linear Equations	Non-Linear Equations
A Linear equation can be defined as the equation having the maximum only one degree.	A Nonlinear equation can be defined as the equation having the maximum degree 2 or more than 2.
A linear equation forms a straight line on the graph.	A nonlinear equation forms a curve on the graph.
The general form of linear equation is, y = mx +c Where x and y are the variables, m is the slope of the line and c is a constant value.	The general form of nonlinear equations is, ax2 + by2 = c Where x and y are the variables and a,b and c are the constant values
Examples: 3x + 2 = 5 4x + 5 = 1	Examples: 2x2+ 3y2 = 7 a2 + 2ab + b2 = 0
