Chapter 18, Problem 5RQ
The specific gravity of gold is 19.3. Write a MATLAB program that will ask the user to input the mass of a cube of solid gold in units of kilograms and display the length of a single side of the cube in units of inches. The output should display a sentence like the one shown that follows, with the length formatted to two decimal places. If the user types a negative number or zero for the mass of the cube, your program should display an error message and terminate.

I need help with the purple line the line that you see one the graph on the picture needs to be on the graph.
Use this code to add the purple line and make sure it’s crossing the orange line. Please make sure the lines are positioned the same way it is shown on the picture with the graph.
Use this code on MATLAB and add the purple line.
