ANSWER:

No, it is not a linear equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x³=y

Equations are categorized base on the highest exponent of their variables.

An equation with an exponent less rthan equal to 1 is a linear equation, am equation with an exponent of 3 is a cubic equation

This equation x³=y is a non linear equation. It can also be called a cubic equation because x has an exponent of 3.

Also the satndard form of a linear equation is:

y = mx + b

In this case, x³=y is not in that form, so it is not a linear equatio.

y = x³
