During a winter storm, the temperature on the top of a

mountain changed an average of -2.5°C every hour
for 12 hours. At noon, the temperature was -5°C.
During the same time period, the temperature at the
bottom of the mountain changed at the rate of
temperature change on the top of the mountain.

What is the hourly rate of temperature change at the bottom of the mountain ?
