Because fewer people want to buy an item as it gets more expensive.
Is always negative. (should be in all caps for emphasis)
price elasticities are always negative hence brings ambiguities in the demand curve
indifference curve analysis is not much in use because it only tells us that demand curve has a negative slope except when they don't ....
because demand decreases as price increases :)
demand curve tends to be downward sloping (negative) for normal goods. for goods that are perceived to be of superior value to customer (like it serves as a status quo), the higher the price, the higher the quantity demanded. hence, giving a positive demand curve. there are called the veblen goods. Giffen goods also has a positive demand curve.
because quantity is on x axis and price is on y axis and as the price increase the demand decrease
A demand curve slopes downward left to right because the relationship between price and demand is negative - as price drops demand rises. The opposite is true for a supply curve where as price rises supply rises - the relationship is positive so the supply curve slopes upward from left to right. Nova net answer- because demand decreases as price increases
It is false that the steeper the demand curve the less elastic the demand curve. The steeper line is used in economics to indicate the inelastic demand curve.

The data on a demand schedule can be plotted on a demand curve. Often, a demand schedule will be created before the creation of a demand curve, so as to allow for greater accuracy when plotting the demand curve.
Demand curves almost always have negative slopes. The Y value being price and the X value being quantity. The higher the price, the more negative the slope. There are very rare conditions where a demand curve could have a positive slope, but its not normally used in business classes.
