The Law of Demand states that, all else being equal, the quantity demanded of a good or service is inversely related to its price. As the price of a good rises, the quantity demanded tends to fall, and as the price falls, the quantity demanded tends to rise.
This relationship is typically depicted as a downward-sloping demand curve, which reflects that consumers buy more of a good when its price decreases and less when its price increases.
Demand Curve
The Demand Curve is a graphical representation of the Law of Demand. It is typically downward sloping, showing that as the price of a good or service decreases, the quantity demanded increases.
Here is the structure of the Demand Curve:
- Y-Axis (Vertical): This axis represents the price of the good or service.
- X-Axis (Horizontal): This axis represents the quantity demanded of the good or service.
Here is the demand curve, where:
- The X-axis represents the quantity demanded of the good.
- The Y-axis represents the price of the good.
As you can see, as the price decreases (moving down the Y-axis), the quantity demanded increases (moving right along the X-axis), consistent with the Law of Demand. The demand curve typically slopes downward from left to right.
