Linear and Nonlinear Equation

Linear equations represent straight lines and have a maximum degree of 1, while nonlinear equations form curves and have a degree of 2 or more. Linear equations are generally simpler and quicker to solve compared to nonlinear equations, which can be more complex and time-consuming. Examples of linear equations include 10x = 1, whereas examples of nonlinear equations include x2 + y2 = 1.
