Answer 1

The change in point is the difference between the last (8th) round and the 7th.

So, in the round 8th Ahad had -1 points and in the round 7th, Ahad had -6 points.

Then, the difference is:

Difference = -1 - (-6)

Difference = -1 + 6

Difference = 5

The change in points in the most recent round is 5
