Answer:

3. Not linear

4. Linear

Explanation:

3. The equation has an exponent on the x. Since x is squared the graph is a parabola. The graph is a curve, not a line, so it is not linear.

4. Both the x and y have no exponent (which is an exponent of 1) The graph will be a line. This is a linear function.
