Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the change in temperature, we need to subtract the initial temperature (-4° C) from the final temperature (-9° C).

Final temperature - Initial temperature = Change in temperature

Therefore, -9° C - (-4° C) = -9° C + 4° C = -5° C.

So the change in temperature was -5° C, which is represented by choice C. To find the change in temperature, subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature. -9° C - (-4° C) = -9° C + 4° C = -5° C. The change in temperature was -5° C. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
