Figure 3.13 Alt text for Figure 3.13a: In figure 3.13a, a graph of intersecting demand and supply curves represents a rising supply of bicycle helmets.
Long description for Figure 3.13a: The x-axis is labelled, Quantity and the y-axis is labelled, as Price.Curve D1 is a straight line which slopes down from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.Curve S1 is a straight line which slopes up from the bottom left to the top right.The point of intersection is at the midpoints of both lines.Curve S2 is a straight line, parallel to curve S1, but plotted to the right.A right pointing arrow indicates the change from S1 to S2.
Alt text for Figure 3.13b: In figure 3.13b, a graph of intersecting demand and supply curves represents a falling supply of bicycle helmets.
Long description for Figure 3.13b: The x-axis is labelled, Quantity and the y-axis is labelled, as Price.Curve D1 is a straight line which slopes down from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.Curve S1 is a straight line which slopes up from the bottom left to the top right.The point of intersection is at the midpoints of both lines.Curve S2 is a straight line, parallel to curve S1, but plotted to the left.A left pointing arrow indicates the change from S1 to S2.
Alt text for Figure 3.13c: In figure 3.13c, a graph of intersecting demand and supply curves represents a rising demand for bicycle helmets.
Long description for Figure 3.13c: The x-axis is labelled, Quantity and the y-axis is labelled, as Price.Curve D1 is a straight line which slopes down from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.Curve S1 is a straight line which slopes up from the bottom left to the top right.The point of intersection is at the midpoints of both lines.Curve D2 is a straight line, parallel to curve D1, but plotted to the right.A right pointing arrow indicates the change from D1 to D2.
