Answer:

The given function is a non linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is,

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]

or

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]

A linear function represents a straight line. A linear function is a function of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear function must be  1. But in this case the degree is -1.

Therefore, the given function is a non linear function. It represents a rectangular hyperbola.
