Comparing Linear & Quadratic Equations
by Jaylon Miller
1. A Linear equation is any equation with the form y=mx+b
2. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, or where the line crosses the y axis.
3. If m is negative, then the line will slope downward from left to right.
4. A Quadratics equation is any equation with the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
5. All quadratics are parabolas.
6. If a=0 then the equation is linear not quadratic.
