Question: 1 / 410

Which of the following equations is quadratic?

y + 6 = 5x

y2 - 6y = 9

x2 + 10x = 15

A and D are both linear equations since they have a maximum exponent of 1, meaning they represent a straight line on a graph. B is a quadratic equation since it has an exponent of 2, but it is not in the correct format. The correct format for a quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0, so B would need to be rewritten as y^2 - 6y - 9 = 0. Therefore, the only equation that is correctly written in quadratic form is C.
