In a linear model, the plotted data follows a straight line. Every data point may not fall on the line, but a line best approximates the overall shape of the data. You can describe every linear model with an equation of the following form:
y = mx + b
In this equation, the letter "m" describes the angle, or "slope," of the line. The "x" describes any chosen value on the horizontal axis, while the "y" describes the number on the vertical axis that corresponds to the chosen "x" value.
In a quadratic model, the data best fits a different type of curve that mathematicians call quadratic. Quadratic models have a curved shape that resembles the letter "u." You can describe all quadratic models with an equation of the form:
Y = ax^2 + bx + c
As with linear models, the "x" corresponds to a chosen value on the horizontal axis and "y" gives the correlating value on the vertical axis. The letters "a," "b" and "c" represent any number, i.e., they will vary from equation to equation

What is the difference between a linear quadratic and a quadratic quadratic?
There is no quadratic equation that is 'linear'. There are linear equations and quadratic equations. Linear equations are equations in which the degree of the variable is 1, and quadratic equations are those equations in which the degree of the variable is 2.
What is the difference between a linear and quadratic function?
A linear function is a line where a quadratic function is a curve. In general, y=mx+b is linear and y=ax^2+bx+c is quadratic.
How are quadratic inequalities different from linear inequalities?
A linear inequality is all of one side of a plane. A quadratic inequality is either the inside of a parabola or the outside.
What is the difference between linear and quadratic equations?
A linear equation has the form of mx + b, while a quadratic equation's form is ax2+bx+c. Also, a linear equation's graph forms a line, while a quadratic equation's graph forms a parabola.
What are the similarities of quadratic equations and linear equations?

How does the slope of a linear equation differ from the slope of a quadratic equation?
i dont know 8x+5y=89
When can you use linear quadratic functions?
There are linear functions and there are quadratic functions but I am not aware of a linear quadratic function. It probably comes from the people who worked on the circular square.
What is the difference between a linear and quadratic function?
A linear function is a line where a quadratic function is a curve. In general, y=mx+b is linear and y=ax^2+bx+c is quadratic.
What is the relation quadratic equation to linear equation?
The derivative of a quadratic function is always linear (e.g. the rate of change of a quadratic increases or decreases linearly).
Is 2x-5 equals 0 Linear or Quadratic?
Linear.
What is quadratic linear function?
It is a quadratic equation that normally has two solutions
Is 3x plus 27 equals 8 a quadratic function?
No it is a linear one. X^2 = quadratic, x = linear. So if the equation doesn't have an x squared, then it is not quadratic.
Is y equals x2 plus 4 a linear equation?
It is linear in y, quadratic in x. Generally, that would be considered a quadratic.
How do quadratic inequalities differ from quadratic equations?
I dont know the answer
What does linear and quadratic functions have in common?
Type your answer here... yes linear and quadratic functions have some things in common such as letters and way of solution ;it is my answer
How are quadratic inequalities different from linear inequalities?
