Question
Using the number line, write the integer which is $5$ less than $3.$
✓
Answer
We want to know an integer which is $5$ less than $3: $
We start from $3$ and move to the left by $5$ steps and obtain $–2$ as shown in the figure below:
Therefore, $5$ units less than $3$ is $–2.$

Mark the following points on a sheet of paper. Tell how many line segments can be obtained in each case:
(i) Two points $A, B$.
(ii) Three non-collinear points $A, B, C$.
(iii) Four points such that no three of them belong to the same line.
(iv) Any five points so that no three of them are collinear.
[Hint: Put $n=2,3,4,5$ in the following formula and check the truth of the statement in each case: If there are $n$ points in a plane such that no three of them are collinear, then the number of line segments obtained by joining these points is equal to $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ ]
