When Real interest rate will increase?

Real interest rates tend to increase when inflation expectations decrease, allowing nominal interest rates to rise without being offset by higher inflation. Additionally, an increase in demand for credit or a reduction in the supply of savings can push real interest rates higher. Central banks may also raise nominal rates to combat inflation, leading to an increase in real interest rates. Overall, these factors can create an environment where real interest rates rise.

What effect does an increase in the money supply have on inflation?

An increase in the money supply shifts the money supply curve to the right. If you look on your graph, you will see that an increase in money supply will cause the interest rate to decrease. Here's why: Fed increases money supply-->excess supply of money at the current interest rate -->people buy bonds to get rid of their excess money-->increase in the prices of bonds --> decrease in the interest rate.
