If the temperature of a liquid can be measured in Kelvin units as x K and in Fahrenheit units as y °F, the relation between the two systems of measurement of temperature is given by the linear equation y = (x – 273) + 32. (i) Find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit if the temperature of the liquid is 313 K. (ii) If the temperature is 158 °F, then find the temperature in Kelvin.

Are any of the lines parallel?The work done by a body on the application of a constant force is the product of the constant force and the distance travelled by the body in the direction of the force. Express this in the form of a linear equation in two variables (work w and distance d), and draw its graph by taking the constant force as 3 units. What is the work done when the distance travelled is 2 units? Verify it by plotting it on the graph.
