Well you see in the 2nd question, the temperature is found by extending another line across the first three points after the sample was added
While in the first one, the already extrapolated line is used rather than extending another line through the first and second point after the sample was added
The question is that in the first question why is the line with the negative gradient (one showing falling temperature) considered to find the temperature rise unlike in the 2nd question in which the line with the positive gradient (one showing rising temperature) used?
The positive grad aint being used in the second question, the negative grad is, just like in first question. That's how you're supposed to do it. you can never draw a line of best fit with just a few points, only possible with more than 5 pts on graph, so the line with negative grad. in both the cases
