"Linear" means "line" or "pertaining to lines" so if you have the graph you can easily tell if it's linear.

If you have the equation and can write it in the form Ax + By = C (A,B,C are real-value constants) then the equation is linear.

You'll have to rewrite your example since it is not an equation (you need an equals sign somewhere).
