Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A change in the number of sellers in an industry changes the quantity available at each price and thus changes supply. An increase in the number of sellers supplying a good or service shifts the supply curve to the right; a reduction in the number of sellers shifts the supply curve to the left.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The demand for a good decreases, if the price of one of its complements rises. The demand for a normal good increases if income increases. The demand for an inferior good decreases if income increases. Expected future income and expected future prices influence demand today.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Law of Supply The higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied. Lower prices mean reduced supply, all else held equal. Higher prices give suppliers an incentive to supply more of the product or commodity, assuming their costs aren’t increasing as much.
