What is the difference between a linear equation and a quadratic equation?(in 7 sentences)

1 answer:

7 0

A linear equation in two variables doesn't involve any power higher than one for either variable. It has the general form Ax + By + C = 0, where A, B and C are constants. It's possible to simplify this to y = mx + b, where m = ( −A / B) and b is the value of y when x = 0. A quadratic equation, on the other hand, involves one of the variables raised to the second power. It has the general form y = ax2 + bx + c. Apart from the adding complexity of solving a quadratic equation compared to a linear one, the two equations produce different types of graphs.

Explain tge distace formula. then use it to calculate the distance between A(1,1) and B(7,-7).

Juliette [100K]

The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean Theorem:

Distance = Square Root [(X2 - X1)^2 + (Y2 - Y1)^2]
Distance = Square Root [(7 -1)^2 + (-7 -1)^2]
Distance = Square Root [ 6^2 + -8^2]Distance = Square Root [ 36 + 64 ]Distance = Square Root [100 ]Distance = 10

Hi there! The answer is A.
Graph A. is not linear because it contains x^2 and therefore is a quadratic function.
