A system is called linear if for any inputs, x1 & x2, yielding outputs y1 & y2 the response to

a*x1 + b*x2 is a*y1 + b*y2.



i.e

The system below


x1 => system => *a \\

                    +  => y(t)

x2 => system => *b //


equals th system below


x1*a => system \\

                +  => y(t)

x2*b => system //
