You are advising Roy on the opening of his Original-Original Famous Pizzeria. By plotting the points below on a coordinate plane, you can show Roy the price points that would lead to a shortage of slices, a surplus of slices, and the point of maximum efficiency per slice. On the graph paper below:

  1. label your vertical axis with prices and your horizontal axis with quantity,
  2. plot each point of the demand and draw the curve with one color.
  3. plot each point of supply and draw the curve with a different color,
  4.  identify the equilibrium point on your graph
