Problem 1

Find the gradient, $m$, and $y$-intercept, $c$, of the following graphs, and sketch them:
a $y=x+1$
b $y=x-1$
c $y=3 x+5$
d $y=\frac{1}{2} x-7$
e $y-\pi=0$
f $y+\pi-x=0$

Problem 3

Q? [mechanics] Hooke's law states that the force $F$ (N) exerted on a spring for an extension $x(\mathrm{~m})$ is given by
$$
F=k x
$$
where $k$ is the spring stiffness (constant) $(\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m})$. Plot the graphs of $F$ against $x$ for

Problem 4

[fluid mechanics] The streamlines of a fluid flow are given by
$$
y=3 x+c
$$
where $c$ is a constant. On the same axes, sketch the graphs for $c=-10,-5,-1,0,1,5$ and 10

Problem 5

across a capacitor is given by
$$
V= \begin{cases}2 t & 0 \leq t<1 \\ 4-2 t & t \geq 1\end{cases}
$$
Sketch the graph of $V$ against $t$ for $0 \leq t \leq 2$
[Hint: The graph of $V$ is given in two parts. You sketch $V=2 t$ for $0 \leq t<1$ and then sketch $V=4-2 t$ for $t \geq 1 .]$
