New Diagram
Hello, can anyone check if the new diagram that I have added is correct? Thanks. wykis 15:17, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the diagram, it helps make the concept clearer. However, isn't price usually on the y-axis, and quantity demanded on the x-axis? (219.83.0.33 (talk) 11:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC))

What is A, what is B?
Somebody please explain what the A and B in the equation stand for. Thanks. --Cryout 22:03, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I think that just about every variable in the second equation needs to be quantified. What is term on the left of the second equation and how does it relate to the term on the left of the first equation? When an equation is used every term should be quantified, otherwise it becomes meaningless and will cause huge amounts of confusion to readers. Woood (talk) 04:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't help that A and B in the introduction are the other way around in the rest of the article. (And we should be told what P and Q are.) akay (talk) 16:20, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
