Graph with Q on x axis, P on y axis. Curve S rises from the origin and increases in both x and y dimensions. Line D1 decreases in both x and y dimensions. An arrow points from line D1 to line D2, which is identical in shape to line D1, but shifted one unit to the positive x direction. Dashed lines extend in the positive x direction from P1 and in the positive y direction from Q1, intersecting line S and line D1. Dashed lines extend in the positive x direction from P2 one unit in the positive y direction from P1 and in the positive y direction from Q2 one unit in the positive x direction from Q1, intersecting line S and line D2.
