To find the net change in price of the stock for the week, let's break down the changes for each day and sum them up.

### Day-by-day changes:

1. **Monday**: Up 4 points → \( +4 \)
2. **Tuesday**: Down 6 points → \( -6 \)
3. **Wednesday**: Up 3 and 1/2 points → \( +\frac{7}{2} = +3.5 \)
4. **Thursday**: Up 1 and 1/4 points → \( +\frac{5}{4} = +1.25 \)
5. **Friday**: Down 5 and 1/8 points → \( -\frac{41}{8} = -5.125 \)

Now, sum all the changes:
\[
4 + (-6) + 3.5 + 1.25 + (-5.125) = -2.375
\]

### Net change:
The net change in price of the stock for the week is **-2.375 points** (a decrease of 2.375 points).
