answer
(a) positively sloped with positive intercept.
steps:
A supply curve shows how much of something sellers will sell and how much it costs.
When there is more of something to sell, the curve moves to the right.
The amount of something that sellers are willing to sell increased by 24% when the price went up by 8%.
This means that sellers are willing to sell more of the thing when the price is higher.
Because of this, the supply curve will slope up (like stairs) from left to right.
We don't know exactly where the line will start on the graph (this is called the intercept) based on the information we have.
The correct answer is option (a), which means the supply curve slopes up from left to right and starts above the zero point on the graph.
