The demand curve, in economics, says something about what happens when the price of a product falls. The quantity demanded should be more when the price is falling. This is the idea behind the demand curve.

1. Law of Demand: If you increase the Price (P1 or P2) in the panel above, what happens to the Quantity demanded (Q)?
2. Slope Sensitivity: If you move the "Steepness" slider to the right (making the slope more negative), how does the Quantity respond to a change in Price?
3. Market Entry: What does the "Intercept (Max P)" slider represent in a real-world context?
4. Law of Demand: Based on the chart, what is the relationship between Price and Quantity?
5. Slope & Elasticity: A steeper curve (higher Steepness value) means:
6. Choke Price: The "Intercept" slider moves the point where:
7. Movements: Changing the Price input (P1 or P2) simulates:
8. Shifts: Changing the Intercept or Slope slider simulates:
