Answer to Question 1

The law of demand states: Other things remaining the same, the higher the price of a good, the smaller is the quantity demanded; and the lower the price of a good, the greater is the quantity demanded. The law of demand is illustrated by a downward-sloping demand curve drawn with the quantity demanded on the horizontal axis and the price on the vertical axis. The slope is negative to show that the higher the price of a good, the smaller is the quantity demanded and the lower the price of a good, the greater is the quantity demanded.
