Answer 1

Answer:

heya! hope it helps :>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the temperature dropped 15 degrees, and that it was initially of 5°C. So, by midnight, the temperature will be of -10°C (5-15=-10).

We also know that the distance between points is of 5°C. So, the point that we have to mark is point A, which represents -10°C.
