A linear equation is a strictly first degree equation. That is, the term with the highest degree must be of degree 1. To determine the degree of any term, ADD all of the exponents in that term. If a variable does not have an exponent, the the exponent is assumed to be 1. Consider your 
term. 
is equivalent to , add 1 for the exponent on 
plus 1 for the exponent on 
and you have 2. is therefore a 2nd degree term and the equation 
is non-linear by definition.
