Explanation of Solution

The demand curve can be interpreted horizontally and vertically. The demand curve shows the total value of the goods and services that are demanded at a particular price in a given period of time. This is referred to as the horizontal interpretation. By horizontal interpretation, initially start with the horizontal axis, which represent price and then go to the vertical axis, where the corresponding quantity demanded measures. On the other hand, in the vertical interpretation, first start with the quantity demanded and then go to its corresponding willing price of the consumer.
