Determine whether 17y = 3x − 19 is quadratic or not. Explain.No; there is no x2 term, so a = 0.No; there is no x-term, so b = 0.No; there is no constant term, so c = 0.Yes; it can rewritten in the form y = ax2 + bx + c.

The standard form of quadratic equation is given as,


ax^2+bx\text{ + c = 0 where a }\\e\text{ 0}

The equation is given as,


17y\text{ = 3x - 19}

Therefore,


\text{From the given equation x}^2\text{ is not present and also a = 0.}

Thus the given equation is not a quadratic equation.
