a change in demand is a movement along the demand curve, and a change in quantity demanded is a shift in the demand curve
A change in quantity demanded
This is the curve which shows the unitary elastic demand where the change in quantity demanded equals with the change in price.
Change in demand curve is caused by the change in the price of the product. This is the change that occurs ON THE DEMAND CURVE. The price changes changes the QUANTITY DEMANDED, not the demand curve itself. Shift in demand curve is caused by NON PRICE DEMAND DETERMINANTS. Basically it shifts the ENTIRE curve (right (increase) or left (decrease)). Change in income, change in number of consumers, taste and preferences, price of related goods, and future expectations all cause shifts in demand curve. For example, an increase in the number of consumers would shift the demand to the right because demand would increase.
A change in supply means that the supply curve has shifted. With a stable demand, this will result in a change in the quantity supplied but also a change in price. A change in only quantity supplied without a change in supply would require a horizontal supply curve. Alternatively a change in quantity supplied and price may occur if there is a shift of the demand curve.

A verticle demand curve, where a change in price does not effect quantity.

Decrease in quantity demanded usually results from an increase in price and vice versa. When the price of a product increases, the demand curve itself is not affected. However, the quantity demanded decreases to a higher point along the demand curve.
A change in quantity demanded
measure of the average responsiveness of quantity to price over an interval of the demand curve. = change in quantity/ Quantity ___________________________ change in price/ Price
A movement along the demand curve for toothpaste would be caused by an increase or decrease in the price of toothpaste. This change would then lead to a change in the quantity demand.
Demand refers to the entire relationship between the prices and the quality of the product. Quality demand refers to one particular point on the demand curve.
The demand curve is drawn with price on the vertical axis and quantity demanded on the horizontal axis. Mathematically, the slope of a curve is represented by rise over run, or the change in the variable on the vertical axis divided by the change in the variable on the horizontal axis. Therefore, the slope of the demand curve represents change in price divided by change in quantity. Elasticity, on the other hand, aims to quantify the responsiveness of demand and supply to changes in price, income, or other determinants of demand.
