Is an increase in demand represented by a movement up the demand curve?
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.
In which direction does the Supply curve slopes to the left or right?
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.
Why does demand curve slope downward from left to right?
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.
Why does the demand curve slops downwards?
Because in Economics, the demand curve always goes down. It's always changing because or suppy and demand.
What will a monopolist firm do if it's demand curve lies below its average variable cost curve?
It will shut down.

What is negaitve slope?
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.

When the y values decrease and the x values increase how is that shown on a graph?
This has a negative slope (it slopes 'down' as you move from left to right).
What will a monopolist firm do if it's demand curve lies below its average variable cost curve?
It will shut down.
The law of diminishing marginal utility explains why A supply curves slope upward B demand curves slope downward C drug addicts can never get enough D. people will only consume their favo?
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.
What happens to marginal utility when you move down on the demand curve?
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.
Show a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?
See the related link. A perfectly inelastic demand would be a line straight up and down. That would show that demand is constant regardless of the price.
What is A line that goes down as you look at it from left to right has a slope?
That is a negative slope.
What does A perfect elastic supply curve look like?
Demand and cost are inversely related, i.e., as the cost goes up, the demand goes down, and as cost goes down, demand goes up. So any two cost-demand curves are are inversely related constitute a perfect elastic supply curve.
