Supply Curve
![]()
The supply curve is the graphical representation of the relationship between price and the amount sellers are willing to supply to the market. The supply curve below illustrates a direct relationship between price and quantity. What you should not do, however, is assume the only factor affecting supply is price. In fact there are a number of factors affecting supply, and we can demonstrate all of them in the supply curve. The relationship between price and supply is captured in the slope of the curve. In this case we have a positive slope - as the price rises more supply will be brought to the market. If any of the other factors affecting supply change, we will see this in a shift of the curve.
