Question

–
1 point.
The next day, the change in value of the stock was represented as
–
5 points. Which of these describes the change in the stock's value?

Answer 1

To find the overall change in the stock's value, we need to consider both changes:

1. The first change was –1 point.
2. The second change was –5 points.

To calculate the total change, we can sum these two changes:

\[ -1 + (-5) = -1 - 5 = -6 \]

Thus, the total change in the stock's value is –6 points.

This means that the stock lost a total of 6 points over the two days.
