Question
A spring was hung from a hook in the ceiling. A number of different weights were attached to the spring to make it stretch, and the total length of the spring was measured each time is shown in the following table
| Weight (kg) | 2 | 4 | 5 | 8 |
| Length (cm) | 3 | 4 | 4.5 | 6 |
How long will the spring be when 6 kilograms of weight on it?

Solution
Next we find the length of the string
When a weight of 6 kg is added.
Put x = 6 in equation (1)
6 – 2y + 4 = 0
⇒ 2y = 10
⇒ y = 5 cm
∴ Required length is 5 cm.
