(10, 30) = (q, p) = equilibrium with q measured in thousand units, p= $30, q=Qs = Qd = Quantity supplied = Quantity demanded. p= price is measured on the vertical or y axis. q=quantity is measured on the horizontal or x axis
(0, 61) = (Qd, p) Quantity demanded = 0 when p=$61
two points on the linear demand curve or (0,61) and (10,30). they have a line through them with slope = change in p divided by change in q = (61-30)/(0-10) =31/-10. the line's equation is p-30= (-31/10)(q-10) or p = -31q/10 + 61
the demand curve is p =-3.1q + 61
the Quantity supplied = 0 when p = $3, points on the supply curve are (0,3) and (10,30)
the slope of the supply line is (30-3)/(10-0) = 27/10
the supply line is p -3 = 2.7q or p = 2.7q +3
the supply line or supply curve is p=2.7q +3
demand curve: p=-3.1q +61 or p =-31q/10 + 61
supply curve: p =2.7q +3 or 27q/10 + 3
equilibrium is when -3.1q +61 = 2.7q +3
2.7q +3.1q = 61-3
5.8q = 58
q = 58/5.8 = 10 = 10,000 units bought and sold
p = 2.7q +3 = 27+3 = 30 = $30 = price when Qd = Qs
p = -3.1q +61 =-31+61 = $30 = price when Qd = Qs, when Quantity demanded = Quanty supplied
or use the point (10,000, 30) and do the same calculations
