Expert Solution
Step 1

In economics, the quantity is taken on the x-axis and the price is taken on the y-axis.

So the demand curve represents the quantity demanded at different price levels similar supply curve represents the quantity supplied at different price levels. At the market equilibrium price, the supply and demand curve interests, and the intersection point is known as the equilibrium point. 

The price floor is the legal minimum price at which consumers buy the goods.
