Chapter 18, Problem 7ICA
The tiles on the space shuttle are constructed to withstand a temperature of 1950 kelvin. Write a MAT LAB program that will display the temperature in the four temperature units [kelvins, degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit, and degrees Rankine]. Each value should be incorporated into a sentence with appropriate text, and each sentence should appear on a new line. Format all values as integers.

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.
