Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the price goes up, the quantity demanded goes down (but demand itself stays the same). If the price decreases, quantity demanded increases. This is the Law of Demand. On a graph, an inverse relationship is represented by a downward sloping line from left to right.

Detailed explanation-2: -A change in quantity demanded is represented as a movement along a demand curve. The proportion that quantity demanded changes relative to a change in price is known as the elasticity of demand and is related to the slope of the demand curve.

Detailed explanation-3: -expansion or contraction in demand.

Detailed explanation-4: -An increase in demand happens when more is purchased at the same price and the same quantity is purchased at a higher price. A decrease in demand happens when less is purchased at the same price or the same quantity at a lower price.
