If the quantity of money is on the horizontal axis and the interest rate on the vertical axis, the demand curve for money is a downward sloping curve or line. People hold money because of money's role as a medium of exchange and a store of value. The lower the interest rate the lower the cost to hold money balances since the forgone interest is lower.
