Question
How a linear demand curve is different from a non-linear demand curve?
✓

Answer

A linear demand curve is the one which has a constant slope, i.e. $\frac{\Delta \text{P}}{\Delta\text{Q}}$ remains constant, however a non-linear demand curve is the one for which the slope is not constant (rather falls).
