Expert Solution
Step 1

In the free economy, the equilibrium price and quantity is determined by the forces of demand and supply.

The demand curve is downward sloping line indicating an inverse relationship between the price and quantity demanded, other things being constant.

The supply curve is upward sloping line indicating a positive relationship between price and quantity supplied, other things being constant.

The point where the downward sloping demand curve intersects the upward sloping supply curve is the point of equilibrium.
