$y = 2 x - 0.5 x^{2} - x$

Step 1

Subtract $x$ from $2 x$ .

$y = - 0.5 x^{2} + x$

Step 2

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be $0$ or $1$ for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable $y$ is $1$ and the degree of variable $x$ is $2$ .
