Just to clarify, that's a drop of 500 units at a $2 increase, right?

I feel like I've seen something like this before, but I can't remember if it's Qd = a - bP or something else.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to derive the demand curve from price and quantity changes. I think option A looks right.

I think the demand curve is usually represented as Q = a - bP, but I'm not entirely sure about the specifics.

I feel pretty good about this one. The demand curve formula is Q = a - bP, so I just need to plug in the two price-quantity pairs and solve for a and b. Shouldn't be too difficult if I work through it step-by-step.

Whoa, this is tricky. I'm not totally confident I know how to set up the demand curve formula from these details. I'll need to review my notes and maybe ask the professor for some guidance.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to use the two given price-quantity points to solve for the slope and y-intercept of the demand curve equation. Should be a straightforward calculation.

I'm a bit confused here. The options mention different types of security, but I'm not sure which one is the most relevant. Maybe I should review all of them to be sure I don't miss anything.

Hey, at least they didn't ask us to draw the demand curve. I'm terrible at graphs, so I'd probably just end up sketching a stick figure instead.

A seems like the right formula, with Q representing quantity and P representing price. The given information about the demand changes with price suggests a linear demand curve.
