Question 1099408: which equation represents a nonlinear function

Rewriting a few of your function the way that you probably have them, using parentheses
1.  y=x^2-4
2.  y=-2x+1/3
3.  (1/2)y-x=1
4.  y=(1/2)x+5

IF this is how your functions are given, then the nonlinear functions, in which exponents on all variables are not equal to 1, should be obvious.
