In both micro and macroeconomics, the equilibrium level of price and quantity are determined by looking at the supply and demand curves (aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves in the case of macroeconomics). The supply and demand curves' steepness and position are established by specific determinants (there are both determinants of supply and determinants of demand). However, these two graphs don't immediately tell you the quantity and price of a good, or aggregate goods in an aggregate market. By looking at the intersection of these two graphs, you can establish the price and quantity. Drawing a vertical line from the intersection, you will arrive at the quantity that is demanded and should be supplied (equilibrium quantity). And drawing a horizontal line from the intersection will give you the price the supplier should charge and what people are willing to pay (equilibrium price).
This is because the intersection would be impossible. If they crossed then they would have the same utility rather than being two different curves.
It is the price where the intentions of buyers and sellers match. where the supply and demand curves intersect
Equilibrium is defined to the price-quantity pair where the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied, represented by the intersection of the demand and supply curves.
In elementary economics equilibrium is the intersection between the supply and demand curves. When quantity supplied is said to equal quantity demanded the market has then reached equilibrium.
The diagram illustrates the law of supply and demand. It shows how the equilibrium price and quantity are determined by the intersection of the supply and demand curves.

The points of intersection. The coordinates of such points will be the solutions to the simultaneous equations representing the curves.
You need two, or more, curves for points of intersection.
Consumption becomes greater than supply
This is because the intersection would be impossible. If they crossed then they would have the same utility rather than being two different curves.
The point of intersection of Demand and Supply curves is the equilibrium point.
Can happen if tangent line is perpendicular to normal line.
One can find this information by visiting their local Curves location. Alternatively, the official Curves website also contains a wealth of information.
There are none. Those two curves do not intersect.
The intersection of the individual graphs. In the simplest case, the graph for each equation consists of a line (or some curve); the intersection is the points where the lines or curves meet.
Two curves which intersect at right angles, ( the angle between the two tangents to the curve) curves at the point of intersection are called orthogonal trajectories. The product of the slopes of the two tangents is -1.
