Let the force applied on a body be y units and the acceleration produced in the body be x units. Then,
y ∝ x
⇒ y = kx
Here, k = 5 units |Given
∴ y = 5x ...(1)
(1) is an equation to express the situation. Table of solutions

We plot the points (0, 0) and (1, 5) on a graph paper and join the same by a ruler to get the line which is the graph of the equation y = 5x
