Answer 2

`yes \: he \: is \: correct \\ \underline{\boxed{(\triangle{ \delta}) = 8}}`

Explanation:

`change \: in \: temp. \: ( \triangle{ \delta}) = t_2 - t_1 \\ hence \to \\( \triangle{ \delta}) = (- 2) - (- 10) \\ (\triangle{ \delta}) = - 2 + 10 \\ (\triangle{ \delta}) = 10 - 2 \\ (\triangle{ \delta}) = 8`
