The Demand Curve Law of demand is a fundamental characteristic of demand behavior. 1.

The Demand Curve Law of demand is a fundamental characteristic of demand behavior. 1. Other things being equal, as the price increases, the corresponding quantity demanded falls. 2. Restated, there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. 3. Note the “other things being equal” assumption which refers to a handful of other factors that affect our demand for a good. These will be covered shortly.
