Curve
A continuous line connecting plotted points on a graph, representing a relationship between variables such as price and quantity.
Graph
A visual tool displaying relationships between variables, often using axes to show changes in price and quantity.
Intersection
A point where two curves or lines meet on a graph, indicating a specific combination of variables like price and quantity.
Shift
A movement of a curve or line on a graph, usually horizontally, to represent changes in underlying conditions.
Leftmost Point
The point furthest to the left on a graph, often used as a starting reference for drawing or shifting curves.
Rightmost Point
The point furthest to the right on a graph, commonly used as an endpoint when connecting or shifting curves.
Parallel Line
A line drawn alongside another, maintaining equal distance, used to visually represent a shifted curve.
Price
A variable shown on a graph's axis, representing the monetary value associated with a good or service.
Quantity
A variable depicted on a graph's axis, indicating the amount of a good or service available or demanded.
Visual Shift
A method of moving curves on a graph without calculations, relying on observation and drawing techniques.
Mathematical Shift
A process of moving curves on a graph using numerical calculations to determine new positions.
Assessment
An evaluation of changes in variables, such as price and quantity, after a curve has been shifted on a graph.
Color Coding
A technique using different colors to distinguish between original and shifted curves for clarity.
Demand
A concept often represented by a curve on a graph, showing the relationship between price and quantity desired.
Supply
A concept depicted by a curve on a graph, illustrating the relationship between price and quantity offered.
