-6°
-24°
6°
24°

Answer 1

To find the change in temperature from 15° to -9°, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Change in Temperature} = \text{Final Temperature} - \text{Initial Temperature}
\]

In this case:

\[
\text{Change in Temperature} = -9° - 15°
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
-9 - 15 = -24°
\]

Thus, the change in temperature is **-24°**.
