Let b be the initial amount of books. Steve sells half of his books, so the number of Steve's books become

Then, he buys 6 more, so the number increases by 6:

This number is now 14, so you have

Subtract 6 from both sides:

Multiply both sides by 2:

Answer:
it is not linear
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear function means that same increments in x yield uniform increments in y.
First 2 lines: x grows from -5 to 0, so increment in x is 5. For said interval, y grows from 3 to 7, so increment in y is 4.
Then, x grows from 0 to 5, so increment in x is again 5. Now, for the same increase of x, y grows from 7 to 10, so increment now in y is 3.
In the first "5" interval of x, y grew 4, and in the second "5" interval of x y grew 3 ⇒ it is not linear.
The function would have been linear, if last y value had been 11.
