9.During an experiment that Paul and Dawn performed, the stretch of a spring was directly proportional to the force applied to the spring. When they put the data on a graph, they would expect to have what type of curve?

Step-by-step explanation:

The spring force is: F = kx

The stretch of the spring is directly proportional to the force applied on the spring.

Here, k is the spring constant.

when data on the graph would be plotted: stretch of the spring versus force on the spring, a straight line would be observed.
