---
h(x) = 23
---
is indeed a linear function:
---
namely, it's a horizontal line (slope=0), at y = 23
---
in the general sense, it's a linear equation of the form:
---
y(x) = mx + b
m = 0
b = 23
---
hence:
y(x) = 0x + 23

Is h(x) = 23 a linear function? Why or why not?
Yes because it is of the form 

h(x) = mx + b

where m=0 and b = 23

h(x) = mx + 23

Also its graph is a horizontal line:
