Answer:

-9.5 f

Step-by-step explanation: The temperature needed to drop steadily through the night so find the difference between -2 and -17 and you'll get 15.  The temperature dropped by 15 degrees total and half of 15 is 7.5.  Halfway through the night the temperature was -7.5-2 degrees or -9.5f.
