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.
Supply curves slope up and to the right. As the price goes up, suppliers are willing to produce MORE product. Conversely, as the price goes up, consumers demand LESS of a good or service. As a result, the demand curve slops down and to the right.
An increase in demand is represented by a shift of the demand curve to the right; not a movement along the demand curve. An increase in the quantity demanded would be a movement down the demand curve.
We have seen already that demand curves (price Demand) slope downwards from left to right. Since demand curve is only a geometrical representation of the law of demand with 'quantity' on the X axis, and 'price' on the Y axis, the shape of the demand curve has to be necessarily of one sloping downwards showing that more is demanded at a lower price. The question why does the demand curve slope downwards is an indirect way of asking why does the law of demand operate. What are the reasons behind the operation of law of demand? why do people demand more if price comes down? So it is better to discuss the reasons behind the law of demand or the economics of law of demand in order to understand the question under discussion.
An individual demand curve that slopes down from left to right indicates an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. As the price of a good decreases, consumers are willing to purchase more of it, reflecting the law of demand. This downward slope often results from the substitution effect, where consumers opt for cheaper alternatives, and the income effect, where lower prices increase consumers' purchasing power. Overall, this behavior illustrates the typical response of consumers to changes in price.
Because in Economics, the demand curve always goes down. It's always changing because or suppy and demand.

You're familiar with the xy-plane. A line with negative slope is one that goes down toward the right. A curve has a negative slope at a point if the tangent line to the curve at that point has a negative slope.

This has a negative slope (it slopes 'down' as you move from left to right).
It will shut down.
The LM curve slopes downward because it represents the relationship between interest rates and the level of income that equates the demand for and supply of money in the economy. As income increases, the demand for money rises, leading to higher interest rates if the money supply remains constant. Conversely, lower income results in decreased demand for money, allowing interest rates to fall. Thus, the downward slope reflects the inverse relationship between interest rates and the level of income in the money market.
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.
That is a negative slope.
as we move down on the demand curve, marginal utility of a commodity starts declining bcoz of the law of diminishing marginal utility.after getting full satisfaction from a commodity both demand and marginal utility of that commodity decreases.
