Why does the demand curve slope

Substitution EffectIncome Effect

Substitution Effect

the good is more or less expensive relative to other goods that are

substitutes.

Income Effect

the effect of a price change on consumer’s

purchasing power.

Complementsgoods or services

that are used together

Complements

Substitutes

goods or services that can be used for the same purpose

Normal Good

Demand increases as income rises and

decreases as income falls

Inferior Good

Demand decreases as income rises and

increases as income falls

Quantity SuppliedQS

amount people are willing and able

to sell

Law of Supplywhen price goes up

quantity supplied goes up

when price goes downquantity supplied goes down

Law of Supplydirect relationship

price up - QS upprice down - QS down
