Question 5 (b)
Following is the list of temperatures of five places in India, on a particular day of the year.
Place Temperature
Siachin 10∘C below 0∘C ___
Shimla 2∘C below 0∘ ___
Ahmedabad 30∘C above 0∘ ___
Delhi 20∘C above 0∘ ___
Srinagar 5∘C below 0∘ ___
Plot the name of the city against its temperature.
In the table above we are given the temperature of five places in India on a particular day.
We take 0∘ as the reference. Any temperature above that will be positive and any temperature below that will be negative.
The table given below shows the temperature of different places in the form of integers according to the convention.
Place Temperature
Siachin 10∘C below 0∘C = −10∘C
Shimla 2∘C below 0∘ = −2∘C
Ahmedabad 30∘C above 0∘ = 30∘C
Delhi 20∘C above 0∘ = 20∘C
Srinagar 5∘C below 0∘ = −5∘C
Following is the number line representing the temperature in degree Celsius of the cities given.
