Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A downward movement along a given demand curve represents an increase in quantity demanded, typically due to a decrease in the price of the good, without the demand curve itself shifting. A rightward shift in the demand curve indicates an increase in demand, which means at the same price levels, consumers are willing to purchase more of the good, often due to factors like increased income, changes in tastes, or a decrease in the price of complementary goods.
