The image above shows which demand curve?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt asks us to identify the demand curve represented in the image. Based on the provided answer value, the intended expression is Qd = 50 - (1/2)P, which corresponds to a downward-sloping linear demand with intercept 50 on the quantity axis and a slope of -1/2 on the price axis.

Option analysis:
- The form Qd = 50 - (1/2)P expresses a linear relationship where increasing price P reduces quantity demanded by half a unit for every one-unit rise in price. This aligns with the standard downward-sloping demand curve: higher prices lead to lower quantity demanded, with a specific slope of -1/2.
- If there were alternative options such as Qd = 100 - 2P, that would also be linear but with intercept 100 and a much steeper slope of -2, implying a different responsiveness to price than the one shown in the image. This would not match the given intercept/slope in the image.
- If an option had the sign reversed (e.g., Qd = 50 + (1/2)P), this would imply that higher prices increase quantity demanded, which violates the law of demand and is therefore incorrect.
- If another form used a completely different intercept or a non-linear pattern, it would fail to reproduce the straight-line, downward-sloping behavior depicted, making it inconsistent with the image.

In summary, the correct specification that matches the image is Qd = 50 - (1/2)P, since it captures a linear, negatively sloped demand curve with the stated intercept and slope. The other forms either invert the relationship, change the slope magnitude, or alter the intercept in ways that would not reproduce the depicted curve.
