Line graph of change in length versus applied force. The line has a constant positive slope from the origin in the region where Hooke's law is obeyed. The slope then decreases, with a lower, still positive slope until the end of the elastic region. The slope then increases dramatically in the region of permanent deformation until fracturing occurs.
