why demand curve slopes downward from left to the right
Downward left to right
slopes downward
downward left to right
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

The demand / supply graph is designed to have supply on the vertical axis (Y) and demand on the horizontal (X). Thus you will have a higher supply = lower demand, or lower supply = high demand.
The typical demand curve slopes from left to right,because :as we all know the y axis signifies the price of the commodity, while the x axis represents the quantity demanded.And according to the law of demand,the higher the price of an item the lower the demand, and vice -versa.
We have seen already that demand curves (price Demand) slope downwards from left to right. Since demand curve is only a geometrical representation of the law of demand with 'quantity' on the X axis, and 'price' on the Y axis, the shape of the demand curve has to be necessarily of one sloping downwards showing that more is demanded at a lower price. The question why does the demand curve slope downwards is an indirect way of asking why does the law of demand operate. What are the reasons behind the operation of law of demand? why do people demand more if price comes down? So it is better to discuss the reasons behind the law of demand or the economics of law of demand in order to understand the question under discussion.
Yes, an increase or decrease in income will cause a shift in the demand curve right or left depending on if the good is inferior, normal, or superior
