Based on your provided text structure, here’s how the terms fit into the descriptions:
-
Law of Demand: The law of demand describes the relationship between prices and demand. According to this law, higher prices encourage buyers to look for a substitute. A substitute is a roughly equivalent good or service. Finding substitutes drops demand for the original good or service, thus lowering prices over time.
-
Law of Supply: The law of supply describes the relationship between price and quantity supplied. A rise in prices encourages producers to supply more of a good or service in the hopes of making more money.
-
Demand Curve: The demand curve tells the relationship (though this phrase is incomplete, it indicates that the demand curve visually represents the relationship between price and quantity demanded.)
-
Substitute: A substitute is a roughly equivalent good or service.
-
Relative Price: This term is not specifically mentioned in your text, but it typically refers to the price of one good in relation to another good.
So, the completion of the sentences would look like this:
- The law of demand describes the relationship between prices and demand...
- The law of supply describes the relationship between price and quantity supplied...
- The demand curve tells the relationship...
