Using "^" for powers. A quadratic equation has a term like x squared (or whatever variable you are using squared). For example, 5x^2 + 3x - 7 = 0. The general form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
A linear equation uses only the first power of a variable; this power is usually not explicitly written. The general form is ax + b = 0; specific examples are 5x + 3 = 0, or x - 7 = 0.
The above assumes you use a single variable; linear and quadratic equations with several variables are also possible.

What is the difference between a linear equation and an quadratic equation?
A linear equation, when graphed, is always a line. A quadratic is a curve. Also, linear equations are of the form y=mx+b where m and b are arbitrary constants and quadratics are y=(x^2) +mx +b where m and b are arbitrary constants.
What is quadratic linear function?
It is a quadratic equation that normally has two solutions
Why Do you Study linear equations?
we study linear equation in other to know more about quadratic equation
How are quadratic equation different from linear equation?
dun know :D
Is y equals x2 plus 4 a linear equation?
It is linear in y, quadratic in x. Generally, that would be considered a quadratic.
