Answer:

I agree with Jamie

Explanation:

Given the inequality expression -2°C > -5°C, to compare both temperatures, we are to determine whether we agree or disagree with him.

Note that negative values that are closer to zero on the number line are greater than those that are far from zero. Hence, since -2 is closer to zero on the number line than -5, this means that -2 is greater than -5 hence I agree with Jamie's temperature value comparison.
