You have the following expression:


(-11+y)^2-y^2=-9x+3

In order to determine if the previous equation is linear, proceed as follow:

- expand the first factor:


121-22y+y^2-y^2=-9x+3

- simplify like terms and add 9x both sides:


9x-22y+121=3

- subtract 121 both sides:


\begin{gathered} 9x-22y=3-121 \\ 9x-22y=-118 \end{gathered}

Hence, the given equation is linear and the standard equation is:

9x - 22y = -118
