The demand / supply graph is designed to have supply on the vertical axis (Y) and demand on the horizontal (X). Thus you will have a higher supply = lower demand, or lower supply = high demand.
When demand shifts to the left, a highly elastic supply will respond by decreasing its quantity supplied significantly in response to a small decrease in demand. This is because the supply is very responsive to changes in demand, leading to a larger decrease in quantity supplied compared to a less elastic supply.
supply must shift up/left because at every quantity, the price would be higher
The supply and demand curve follows four basic laws :If demand increases (demand curve shifts to the right) and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.If demand decreases (demand curve shifts to the left) and supply remains unchanged, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.If demand remains unchanged and supply increases (supply curve shifts to the right), a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price.If demand remains unchanged and supply decreases (supply curve shifts to the left), a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
Change in demand.
Price will increase, quantity will decrease

A change in supply is represented on a graph by a shift of the supply curve to the left or right. If supply increases, the curve shifts to the right, indicating that producers are willing to supply more at each price level. Conversely, a decrease in supply shifts the curve to the left, showing that less is available at each price. This shift affects the equilibrium price and quantity in the market.

Change in demand.
It is a shift of the demand curve to the right (an increase in demand) or to the left (a decrease in demand).
downward left to right
Downward left to right
Shift of the curve to the left.
If OPEC reduced output, then world supply will fall. Thus, as supply falls, the price will rise, and the profits of oil-producing countries increase. (In a demand-and-supply graph, the supply curve will shift to the left and you'll see the change in price.)
