What is the difference between linear and quadratic functions?

Linear functions have a constant rate of change and produce straight-line graphs, while quadratic functions have a variable rate of change and produce parabolic graphs.

Linear functions can produce parabolic graphs, while quadratic functions always produce straight-line graphs.

Linear functions have a variable rate of change, while quadratic functions have a constant rate of change.

Linear functions are always increasing, while quadratic functions can be increasing or decreasing.
