equilibrium price to emerge, resulted in movement along the supply curve from the point (Q1, P1) to the point Q2, P2). If the demand decreases, then the opposite happens: a shift of the curve to the left.

The quantity supplied at each price is the same as before the demand shift, reflecting the fact that the supply curve has not shifted; but the equilibrium quantity and
