Elastic demand curve implies that the change in the price of a product has a huge impact on the buying effect. This directly affects the demand curve.
Law of demand is behind the downward sloping of demand curve,i.e. inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.
law of supply
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.
given that the demand curve is for a normal good then this is the case as prices increase people will be willing to consume less of the good. If the good is a giffen good then this will not be the case an in fact the demand curve may either remain straight or will curve upwards as prices increase.

Upward-sloping
downward sloping
Law of demand is the reason of the downward sloping of demand curve.Law of demand states the inverse relationship of demand of a commodity and it's price,and demand curve represents this inverse relationship of demand and price.So in this way they both are related.

You simply move upward on the demand curve to where price is 0.Since this is the Law of Demand, there are no exceptions, even when an item is free.
Demand curve is slope downward because of inverse relationship between price and quantity.
