We plot the points (–1, –1) and (1, –3) on a graph paper and join the same by a ruler to get the line which is the graph of the equation 2x + 3y = –5.
x + y = –1
⇒ y = – 1 – x

We plot the points (0, –1) and (1, –2) on the same graph paper and join the same by a ruler to get the line which is the graph of the equation x + y = –1.
From graph, we see that the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines are (2, –3).
Given the point (1,2), can you give the equation of a line on which it lies? How many such equations are there?
(i) If the temperature is 40°C, what is the temperature in Fahrenheit?
(ii) If the temperature is 95°F, what is the temperature in Celcius?
(iii) Is there a temperature which is numerically of same value in Fahrenheit and Celcius? If yes, find the temperature?
