Im trying to figure out of the B in my SPSS output equals to the slope of the quadratic equation. Is it still the slope but just calculated differently from the linear equation?

@eremlo,
Your problem is unrelated to the program you're using: SPSS is just a program for data manipulation, it's one of many, and it's not necessarily the best. Your problem is understanding the underlying statistical analysis. Read a good introductory text on descriptive statistics. Here's a link, start on page 301:

@eremlo,
Quadratics are 2nd order polynomials--

They're of the form ax^2+bx+c=0, where a, b & c are constants

b is not the slope of a quadratic as the slope changes with x---the slope at an specified x is the derivitive at that x (2ax+b)
