Answer:

-9°F

Explanation:

If we have a horizontal line in which the zero is in the middle, the positive numbers are on the right and the negative numbers are on the right, we would see that -9°F is further than 6°F. Even though -9°F is a smaller temperature, it is still further away from the zero.
