I understand you have a Jenkins instance that runs on a windows machine and 
you want to use a Linux machine as an agent connected by SSH
* Create an SSH key pair (public/private)
* Create an SSH credential in the Jenkins machine and put the private key 
there
* Create an SSH agent see 
https://github.com/jenkinsci/ssh-slaves-plugin/blob/master/doc/CONFIGURE.md#configure-launch-agents-via-ssh
  * Select the SSH credential created before as credentials
  * Chose the verification strategy that you want, see the documentation, 
if you have problems start with the "Non verifying Verification Strategy" 
you can change it later
* Add the public key on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys 

this should work, if not you should see some error messages on the agent 
logs page "JENKISN_URL/computer/AGENT_NAME/log", if nothing works see 
https://github.com/jenkinsci/ssh-slaves-plugin/blob/master/doc/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#common-info-needed-to-troubleshooting-a-bug
 there 
you have the information needed to troubleshoot an SSH issue
