The law of demand states quantity demanded for a
good rises as the price falls. In other words price and quantity demanded is
inversely related. If the price of a commodity decrease, the quantity demanded
will be increased and vice versa.
So, the law of demand is expressed the functional
relationship between price and quantity demanded.
According to Dominick Savtore, "Law of demand is the inverse relationship between price and quantity reflected in the negative slope of a demand curve".
Equation: Qd = a-bp
Where, Qd= Quantity Demand
a= Intercept
b= slope
p= price
Suppose, Qd = 10-2p
Demand schedule:
Equation: Qd = a-bp
Where, Qd= Quantity Demand
a= Intercept
b= slope
p= price
Suppose, Qd = 10-2p
Demand schedule:

Now, Qd = 10 – 2p
2p
= 10 - 0
P = 10/2
P = 5
