Detailed explanation-1: -The supply curve will move upward from left to right, which expresses the law of supply: As the price of a given commodity increases, the quantity supplied increases (all else being equal). Note that this formulation implies that price is the independent variable, and quantity the dependent variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -The supply curve slopes upward because as a product’s price rises, the business would tend to be more willing to make it. Also, since businesses are efficient and would exhaust the cheapest production inputs first, the cost of production tends to rise as output increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -In most cases, the supply curve is drawn as a slope rising upward from left to right, since product price and quantity supplied are directly related (i.e., as the price of a commodity increases in the market, the amount supplied increases).

Detailed explanation-4: -The aggregate supply curve slopes up because when the price level for outputs increases while the price level of inputs remains fixed, the opportunity for additional profits encourages more production.

Detailed explanation-5: -all other factors being equal, there is a direct relationship between a good’s price and the quantity supplied; as the price of a good increases, the quantity supplied increases; similarly, as price decreases, the quantity supplied decreases, leading to a supply curve that is always upward sloping.
