Answer:

1. Non - linear

2. Linear

3. Linear

4. Linear

Explanation:

All linear equations can be expressed in the form of


y=mx+b

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Horizontal line is a special case of linear functions, where slope is 0. It means y=b is also a linear funcion.

First function is


72=x^3+y\Rightarrow y=-x^3+72\\eq mx+b

It is a non linear function.

Second function is


y+1=5(x-9)\Rightarrow y=5x-45-1\Rightarrow y=5x-46=mx+b

It is a linear function.

Third function is


7y+2x=12\Rightarrow y=(12-2x)/(7)=-(2)/(7)x+(12)/(7)=mx+b

It is a linear function.

Fourth function is


4y=24\Rightarrow y=6=0x+6=mx+b

It is a linear function.
