Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The money demand curve has a negative slope. An increase in the interest rate, the variable on the vertical axis, causes a decrease in the quantity of money demanded, the variable on the horizontal axis, because an increase in the interest rate increases the opportunity cost of holding money. Money earns little or no interest, so an increase in the interest rate induces people to reduce their holdings of money and switch into interest-bearing financial assets.
