Figure 1 shows a force-extension graph for a metal spring.

A straight-line force-extension graph starting at the origin (0, 0) and passing through an extension of 0.50 m at a force of 10.0 N. The vertical y-axis is labeled 'Force (N)' and the horizontal x-axis is labeled 'Extension (m)'.

The linear relationship can be represented by the equation of a straight line:

y=mx+c y = mx + c y=mx+c

Give the physical quantities that y y\,y and x x\,x represent for the graph shown.
