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.

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.

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.
There are many equations that are neither linear nor quadratic. A simple example is a cubic equation, such as y = x3, or a logarithmic equation, such as y = ln(x).
A Quadratic Sequence is when the difference between two terms changes each step. However the secondary difference (the difference between each primary difference.) is always the same. E.G. 6 9 14 21 +3 +5 +7 primary difference.(changes) +2 +2 secondary difference(stays the same) this is not a linear sequence in which the primary difference stays the same. another way to visualise this is on a graph. if you plotted a quadratic sequence onto a graph there would be a curve. a linear sequence would be a straight line. hope this helps.
