Transcribed Image Text:**Cups of Coffee Market Analysis**
*Graph Description:*
The graph illustrates the relationship between the price and quantity of coffee cups in the market through supply and demand curves.
- **Axes:**
- The horizontal axis (X-axis) represents the quantity of coffee cups, ranging from 0 to 300.
- The vertical axis (Y-axis) represents the price, ranging from $0 to $8.
- **Curves:**
- The **Supply Curve (S)** is shown in red. It slopes upwards from left to right, indicating that as the price increases, the quantity supplied also increases.
- The **Demand Curve (D)** is shown in blue. It slopes downwards from left to right, indicating that as the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases.
- **Equilibrium Point:**
- The intersection point of the supply and demand curves is at a price of $5 and a quantity of 200 cups, which is the equilibrium point.

|-------|----------|
| $3 | 400 |
