The plot of $\log k_f$ versus $1 / T$ for a reversible reaction $A_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons P_{(g)}$ is shown. Pre-exponential factors for the forward and backward reactions are $10^{15} \ s^{-1}$ and $10^{11} \ s^{-1}$,respectively. If the value of $\log K$ for the reaction at $500 \ K$ is $6$,the value of $|\log k_b|$ at $250 \ K$ is $\qquad$ $[K = \text{equilibrium constant of the reaction}, k_f = \text{rate constant of forward reaction}, k_b = \text{rate constant of backward reaction}]$
