Answer:

No, it is not a linear equation

Explanation:

This equation contains the term x², meaning that it is a quadratic function (parabola)

So, it is not a linear equation.

If it were a linear equation, x would not be squared, and the equation would have been in y = mx + b form.

The answer is no, it is not a linear equation.
