Answer:

nonlinear

Explanation:

Hey There!

A linear function would have a straight line when graphed meaning that it would have a constant slope

This is a nonlinear function because y is not moving at a constant rate with x

16-8=8

8-2=6

It went down 8 then it went down 6

therefore it is a nonlinear function
