A demand curve has a negative slope due to the law of demand, which states that as price decreases, demand increases. Mathematically, this a property known as convexity of preferences, which roughly means that people always improve their outcomes by having strictly more of something. There are types of goods speculated to not be strictly convex in preferences, primarily the Giffen Good, whose demand increases as price increases (some historical examples may include potatoes during the Irish Potato Famine, short-term stocks, and diamonds).
A demand curve slopes downward left to right because the relationship between price and demand is negative - as price drops demand rises. The opposite is true for a supply curve where as price rises supply rises - the relationship is positive so the supply curve slopes upward from left to right. Nova net answer- because demand decreases as price increases
The law of supply predicts the supply curve will be upward sloping.
B. Demand curve slopes downward. If apple #3 doesn't give you as much satisfaction (or utility) as apple #2, your demand for apples goes down before you hit apple #4.
The upward movement of the demand curve indicates the rising demand of the product, whereas downward movement of the demand curve indicates falling demand.

A trend is usually an upward or downward trend. If the line is highest nearest the vertical axis(the lefthand side of the graph) and slopes downwards, this is a downward trend.

Graphically, the Y axis is price and the X axis is quantity. The demand curve slopes downward, while the supply curve slopes upward. When quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied the market is out of equilibrium. As a result, the price of goods increases, thereby decreasing the quantity demanded. This is characterized as a move up along the demand curve and not a shift. Changes in endogenous variables, ie price and quantity, are just movements along the curve.
When a negative acceleration is graphed, the line slopes downward on a velocity-time graph. This is because negative acceleration causes a decrease in velocity over time, resulting in a negative slope on the graph.
