Detailed explanation-2: -When supply decreases, the price of the good increases. Inversely, when the supply of the good increases, the price falls. A similar relationship exists between price and demand. When the demand for the good increases, the price of the good also increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -When quantity demanded decreases in response to a change in price: the demand curve shifts to the right.
