To understand the change in the stock's value, we analyze the information provided:

  1. The first change was an increase of 3 points, which can be represented as +3 points.
  2. The next day, the change was represented as –6 points, indicating a decrease of 6 points.

To find the overall change, we can add the two changes:

  • First change: +3 points
  • Second change: -6 points

Calculating this gives us:

3 points - 6 points = -3 points

The overall change in the stock's value is a decrease of 3 points.

Therefore, the correct description of the change in the stock's value is:

It fell 3 points.
