This is the demand curve for the equation Q = 10,000 – 9000 (P). First we will have to do the calculation for the Quantity (Q) by adding the Price (P) into the equation and multiplying (P) by the equation. The equation is Q = 10,000- 9,000(P) so we will take (P) between the prices of $25 and $35. Then we will graph the curve which will be a demand curve slopping downward. The quantity at $25 was -215,000 and for $30 was -260,000 and for $35 was -305,000. This is why the demand curve slopes downward
