  • Original Demand Curve in the Hat Market (Figure 8.14)

Deriving and Interpreting a Demand Equation

A linear demand curve for hats shows that at a price of 20,nohatsaredemanded,andifthehatswerefree(apriceof20, 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.
