Deriving and Interpreting a Demand Equation

A linear demand curve for hats shows that at a price of $20, no hats are demanded, and if the hats were free (a price of $0), 40,000 hats would be demanded. First, determine the mathematical equation for this demand curve, expressing price (P) as a function of quantity (Q, in thousands). Second, explain the economic meaning of the slope of this demand curve.
