Demand curves slope down because as price decreases for goods, demand increases. Supply curves slope upwards because the higher the price, the more goods a supplier wishes to supply to the market.
There are two exceptions:
1. When a good is more fashionable at a higher price (like designer jeans) referred to as Veblen Goods.
2. Inferior goods for which there is no cheaper close substitutes referred to Geffen Goods.
why? isn't it to adjust it downwards to max. shareholders wealth?
In equilibrium: Money supply = Money demand.Summarizing it, we can explain the upward sloping LM curve as following:If income is high then thedemand for money will be high relative to the fixed supply. In order to equilibrate money demand and money supply, interest rates have to also be high to reduce money demand
Supply curves do not always slope from left to right. A supply curve can slope from the right and when this happens this means that there is a surplus of goods at a lower price.
In general, a firm's production costs are directly related to the shape of its long-run average cost curve. As production costs decrease, the long-run average cost curve tends to slope downwards, indicating economies of scale. Conversely, as production costs increase, the curve may slope upwards, indicating diseconomies of scale. Ultimately, the shape of the long-run average cost curve reflects how efficiently a firm can produce goods or services at different levels of output.
The ratio between the demand and the supply of a commodity goes up when the supply diminishes or the price is increased.

When an object is moving upwards, its velocity is directed upwards. If the object is near the Earth or any other planet, then its acceleration is directed downwards, which also means that its upward velocity is decreasing.
