ANSWER:

Yes, it is linear, let's go with an example because we say this.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example:


\begin{gathered} (2^2)/(2)=(4)/(2) \\ \\ (4^2)/(4)=(16)/(4) \\ \\ \end{gathered}

As we can see, doubling the value of a number and dividing it by itself maintains the same pattern; that is, the increase is proportional.

We graph the previous proportions, a straight line is formed that is constant as we double the value and divide it on itself.
