No, this would not be a linear function. Being linear means it creates a straight line, but this function has an x squared. Anytime x^2 is in a function, the graph is a u shape, called a parabola. A simple linear function is y=x :D
The equivalent value of the expression is -7
<h3>Modulus of a function</h3>
The modulus of an expression of value is equal to the positive of such function or value.
Given the expression
2(2.5 - |-6|)
Since the value of -6 is a modulus, the expression will become;
2(2.5 - |-6|) = 2(2.5) - 2(6)
2(2.5 - |-6|) = 5 - 12
2(2.5 - |-6|) = -7
Hence the equivalent value of the expression is -7
