No.

Explanation:

A linear function is usually shown in the form #y=mx+b#.
Now, that #x# there is really raised to the power of one.

This means that the independent variable, usually #x#, has to be raised to the power of 1.

In #y=3/x#, we can rewrite is as #3*1/x# or #3x^-1#

Since #x# is raised to a power that is not 1, this function is not linear.
