Answer:

Non-linear

Explanation:

A linear equation would have the form y=kx where y varies directly with x. This would actually be a rational function in the form of y=k/x where y varies indirectly with x. You can see that x can't be 0 because you cannot divide by 0, so this would be known as a discontinuity. On a graph of the function, you would see both curved ends of the function approach 0, but not actually touch it.
