Answer:

Please check the attached image for the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The demand curve is a curve that shows the various quantities of a good that is purchased at different prices.

The demand curve is downward sloping due to the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. The higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded. This is known as the law of demand.

It can be seen that the quantity demanded of apples increased from 3 to 7 when price reduced to $2.50

On the demand curve, price is on the vertical axis, while quantity demanded is on the horizontal axis
