It is the locus of combination of the interst rate and real national income for which money demand wquals money supply.So called because it represents the points where liquidity equals the money supply.

he LM curve is flat when money demand is very responsive to interest rates. That is, when you have a flat money demand curve. Interest rates only have to increase by a little in order to get rid of bonds since money demand is very reactive to interest rates.
The IS-LM model is an economic framework that illustrates the relationship between the goods market (Investment-Savings or IS curve) and the money market (Liquidity preference-Money supply or LM curve). The IS curve represents equilibrium in the goods market where total output (GDP) equals total spending, while the LM curve shows equilibrium in the money market where money supply equals money demand. Together, these curves help analyze the effects of fiscal and monetary policy on interest rates and economic output. The model is particularly useful for understanding short-term economic fluctuations.
The LM curve has a positive slope because as interest rates increase, the quantity of money demanded decreases. This is because higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, leading to a decrease in investment and consumption, which in turn reduces the demand for money.

The slope of the LM curve is determined by the responsiveness of the demand for money to changes in interest rates, which is influenced by the liquidity preference of individuals and businesses. Specifically, a steeper LM curve indicates that money demand is less sensitive to interest rate changes, while a flatter curve suggests greater sensitivity. Factors such as income levels, expectations about future economic conditions, and the overall liquidity of the financial system also play significant roles in shaping the slope. Ultimately, the LM curve reflects the relationship between the real money supply and interest rates in the economy.

If money demand has low sensitivity to change in interest rate,the interest rate would have to rise by a large amount to reduce the demand for real balance back to the fixed leveli.e the level at which demand for money is equal to supply of money.Accordingly,the LM curve would be quite steep
The IS-LM model, which stands for Investment-Savings (IS) and Liquidity Preference-Money Supply (LM), is a macroeconomic framework that illustrates the relationship between real output (GDP) and interest rates in an economy. The IS curve represents equilibrium in the goods market, showing combinations of interest rates and output where investment equals savings. The LM curve represents equilibrium in the money market, indicating combinations where money supply equals money demand. Together, they help analyze the effects of fiscal and monetary policy on overall economic activity.
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
AD-AS represents aggregate demand curve (AD) and aggregate supply curve (AS). "In the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model, each point on the aggregate demand curve is an outcome of the IS-LM model for aggregate demand Y based on a particular price level. Starting from one point on the aggregate demand curve, at a particular price level and a quantity of aggregate demand implied by the IS-LM model for that price level, if one considers a higher potential price level, in the IS-LM model the real money supply M/P will be lower and hence the LM curve will be shifted higher, leading to lower aggregate demand; hence at the higher price level the level of aggregate demand is lower, so the aggregate demand curve is negatively sloped
what is IS-LM?
... doesn't change slope :/ solved lol
