Use the above graph to answer the following question. Which line indicates the demand curve? (1 point) A - one

B - Two

C - the axis

D - the y - axis

A - one

Step-by-step explanation:

A typical demand curve, in economics, depicts the relationship between price of a commodity on the y-axis, and quantity demanded on the x-axis.

The demand curve obeys the Law of Demand, which states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded of that commodity, and vice versa, all things being equal. Thus, a typical demand curve will slope downwards, from left to the right.

Therefore, line 1 indicates the demand curve.

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

answer: 2530
