Marc-Antoine and Annabelle have demand curves for books which are descending lines. Annabelle's demand curve has the same slope as Marc-Antoine's. Annabelle's demand curve is to the right of Marc-Antoine's. An increase in the price of books will cause: (a) a shift to the right of the Annabelle and Marc-Antoine demand curves.
