Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Define supply, demand, law of demand, and equilibrium.
  • Construct a supply and demand graph.
  • Compute the equation of a linear demand curve.
  • Compute the equation of a linear supply curve.
  • Compute the intersection of the supply curve and demand curve (confirm the equilibrium price and quantity) using a system of equations.

In this personal finance lesson, students will learn supply and demand by utilizing a system of equations.
