The answer will depend on what variables are graphed!
Because load and deflection are directly proportional to each other
The answer depends on the variables in the graph! In a graph of age against mass there is nothing that represents acceleration.
It is not, if it is a graph of force against acceleration.
If the variables x and y are in direct proportion then the graph of y against x is a straight line through the origin. If the variables x and y are in inverse proportion then the graph of y against x is a rectangular hyperbola. Alternatively, the graph of y against 1/x (or 1/y against x) is a straight line through the origin.
