[All Steps] Free market. The equations S = 5000 + 200x and D = 9500 - 100x express the supply S and the demand D, respectively, for a popular compact disc
Question: Free market.
The equations
S = 5000 + 200x
and
D = 9500 - 100x
express the supply S and the demand D, respectively, for a popular compact disc brand in terms of its price x (in dollars).
-
Graph the equations on the same coordinate system.
-
What happens to the supply as the price increases?
-
What happens to the demand as the price increases?
- The price at which supply and demand are equal is called the equilibrium price. What is the equilibrium price?
