Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An individual consumer demand curve shows the relationship between the price of a particular good and the quantity of that good a consumer is willing and able to purchase, holding all other factors constant (ceteris paribus). Therefore, changing the price of one good while holding other factors constant will allow us to see how that change in price affects the quantity demanded. Changing income (A) or changing the prices of two goods (C) would shift the entire demand curve, rather than tracing out a new demand curve for a particular good at different prices. Not changing income or prices (D) would not allow us to see how changes in price affect quantity demanded.
