Draw the MO diagram of linear NO2 by consulting the character tables and orbital energies, and to align your O/N/O axes. Remember to use a lower symmetry point group for the linear molecule. What is the bond order of linear NO2? How does it change if you make it NO2 - or NO2 +. Draw each SALC and look for interactions between the orbitals.
