The demand curve is the relationship between the quantity of a good and its price, they are inversely proportional. So when the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded decreases, and this is called the demand Law.

Slide 5

Similarly, when the price of a good decreases, the quantity demanded usually increases. People can spend more and they will consume few alternative goods. The higher the share of income spent on that good, the higher the impact of an increase in real price of both consumer and higher will be the reduction of that demand.

Slide 6

We have three variable in the demand curve Price Quantity demanded Income

Slide 7

(In economics it is important to distinguish between moviments along curve and shifts of a curve) When a variable that it is not named on either axis changes, the curve shifts When a variable on an axis of the graph changes, the curve does not shift
