N2  - "the applications of straight lines in engineering are introduced. It is assumed that the students are already familiar with this topic from their high school algebra course. This chapter will show, with examples, why this topic is so important for engineers. For example, the velocity of a vehicle while braking, the voltage-current relationship in a resistive circuit, and the relationship between force and displacement in a preloaded spring can all be represented by straight lines. In this chapter, the equations of these lines will be obtained using both the slope-intercept and the point-slope forms"--
