Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Demand Curves
#### Question:
**Use the figure below to answer the following question:**
Refer to the three demand curves. A "decrease in demand" would be illustrated as a change from:
#### Graph Description:
The graph provided shows three downward-sloping demand curves labeled \( D_1 \), \( D_2 \), and \( D_3 \). Each curve has various points marked:
- On \( D_1 \): Points 1 and 4
- On \( D_2 \): Points 3 and 6
- On \( D_3 \): Points 2 and 5
**Axes:**
- The vertical axis represents Price.
- The horizontal axis represents Quantity.
#### Answer Options:
- **Option 1:** point 1 to point 4.
- **Option 2:** point 6 to point 3.
- **Option 3:** line \( D_3 \) to \( D_2 \).
- **Option 4:** line \( D_1 \) to \( D_3 \).
#### Explanation:
A demand curve illustrates the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded by consumers. A "decrease in demand" is represented by a leftward shift of the demand curve.
- Shifting from \( D_1 \) to \( D_3 \) shows a decrease in demand.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**Option 4:** line \( D_1 \) to \( D_3 \).
