![This image represents a basic demand curve graph commonly used in economics to illustrate the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded by consumers.
### Graph Explanation:
- **Axes:**
- The vertical axis (Y-axis) represents the "Price" of a good or service.
- The horizontal axis (X-axis) represents the "Quantity" of the good or service demanded.
- **Demand Curve:**
- The downward sloping line indicates the demand curve, showing that as the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases, and vice versa.
- **Points and Lines:**
- **\( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \):** These are specific price points on the Y-axis.
- **\( Q_1 \) and \( Q_2 \):** These are specific quantity points on the X-axis.
- **Areas:**
- **Area A:** Represents the loss in consumer surplus when the price increases from \( P_1 \) to \( P_2 \).
- **Area B + C:** Represents the original consumer surplus when the price was at \( P_1 \).
- **Area D:** Represents the gained consumer surplus when the price decreases from \( P_2 \) to \( P_1 \).
- **Area E:** Represents the loss in quantity demanded from \( Q_1 \) to \( Q_2 \) when the price increases to \( P_2 \).
The graph visually demonstrates how changes in price can affect consumer behavior and the resulting consumer surplus.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F38b9e4b8-5e4d-4e14-b924-185cabaf3e4b%2F05d6507d-12e2-4afd-ab6f-1aeaaad98dd9%2Fyakw4pd_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
