Expert Solution
Step 1

The Law of demand states that there is a negative relationship between the price of a good and its quantity demanded, ceteris paribus. In the Latin language, ceteris paribus means keeping other things constant. That is why when we plot the demand curve against price and quantity demanded, it is downward sloping (negatively sloped). But the law of demand is applicable when the ceteris paribus conditions are satisfied which are:

  1. price of its related goods is constant
  2. the consumer preference and taste is constant
  3. the consumer income 
  4. the expectation of price in future
  5. number of buyers

When the ceteris paribus condition hold, there is always movement along the demand curve. A new demand curve is derived when the ceteris paribus conditions are distorted which leads to a shift in the demand curve.
