Answer: 4°F

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that temperature at 5:30 a.m was –4°F and that eight hours later, at 2:30 p.m, the temperature is the opposite of –4°F.

The temperature at 2:30 will be 4°F since the opposite of -4 is +4. Also since there's an interval of 8 hours, it's likely that the temperature increased by 1° for every hour. In 8 hours, it'll have increased by 8°, therefore the temperature will then be:

= -4 + 8

= 4°F
