The equation is $\"\"$ .

Since the standard form of linear function is $\"\"$ .

Solve the equation.

$\"\"$ (Original equation)

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by $\"\"$ )

$\"\"$ (Multiply)

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

$\"\"$ (Subtract $\"\"$ from each side)

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

Rewrite the equation is $\"\"$ .

The expression includes multiplication of two variables together.

Thus, the function is not a linear function.

$\"\"$
