**Question 14: What is the value of \( a \) in the quadratic function \( y = 5x^2 + 7x - 10 \)?**

- \( y \)
- \(-10\)
- \( 7 \)
- \( 5 \)

**Explanation:**

In a quadratic function of the form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), the coefficient \( a \) is the number in front of \( x^2 \). In this function, the term with \( x^2 \) is \( 5x^2 \), which means \( a = 5 \). Therefore, the correct answer is the last option, \( 5 \).
