Q. When a storm moved into Park City, the temperature dropped 5F5\,^\circ\mathrm{F}. What integer represents the change in Park City's temperature?\newline\newline____F\_\_\_\_\,^\circ\mathrm{F}
  1. Identify Temperature Change: The problem states that the temperature dropped by 5F5 \, ^{\circ}\mathrm{F}. Dropping indicates a decrease, which is represented by a negative number.
  2. Determine Integer Representation: To find the integer that represents this change, we consider the direction of the change (a drop) and the magnitude (5F5 \, ^{\circ}\mathrm{F}). Since it's a drop, the integer is 5-5.
