Expert Solution
Step 1: Define equilibrium

The demand curve is the downward-sloping curve. 

The supply curve is the upward-sloping curve. 

The equilibrium is where the demand curve intersects the supply curve. 

When there is an increase in demand, the demand curve shifts to the right. 

When there is a decrease in demand, the demand curve shifts to the left. 

When there is an increase in supply, the supply curve shifts to the right. 

When there is a decrease in supply, the supply curve shifts to the left.
