To analyze the changes in Streetfar Pharmacy stock:

  1. The stock rose 6 points: This means the stock's value increased by 6 points.
  2. The next day, the stock fell by 4 points (represented as –4 points): This indicates a decrease in the stock's value by 4 points.

To determine the overall change from the initial rise and subsequent fall:

  • Start with the increase of 6 points.
  • Then subtract the decrease of 4 points:

\[ 6 - 4 = 2 \]

This means that after the stock rose by 6 points and then fell by 4 points, the overall change is an increase of 2 points.

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

It fell 4 points accurately describes the daily change, but overall, given the context, it rose 2 points from the initial value. If you are looking for daytime context, then "It fell 4 points" would be correct for that specific day only.
