Thus, an increase in quantity demanded results in a downward movement and to the right of a demand curve.

Detailed explanation-2: -A decrease in demand will cause the equilibrium price to fall; quantity supplied will decrease.

Detailed explanation-3: -a movement upward and to the left along a given demand curve is called a decrease in demand.
