Transcribed Image Text:The image is a graph illustrating the demand and supply curves for medium trucks. The horizontal axis represents the quantity of medium trucks (in hundreds), ranging from 0 to 10. The vertical axis shows the price in dollars per medium truck, ranging from 0 to 200.
**Key Elements of the Graph:**
1. **Demand Curve (Blue):**
- This curve slopes downward from left to right.
- It starts at $200 for 0 trucks and ends at $0 for 10 trucks, indicating that as the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases.
2. **Supply Curve (Orange):**
- This curve slopes upward from left to right.
- It starts at $0 for 0 trucks and ends at $200 for 10 trucks, showing that as the price increases, the quantity supplied increases.
3. **Equilibrium Point:**
- Marked by a black dashed line intersecting both the demand and supply curves.
- This point occurs where the quantity is 5 (500 medium trucks) and the price is $100.
- It represents the market equilibrium where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
This interaction between the demand and supply curves demonstrates the basic concept of market equilibrium in economics.
