Math Problem Statement
Complete the problem by using the accompanying figure, which shows a supply function and a demand function. (Assume price is measured in dollars.)
The q p-coordinate plane is given. There 4 points and 2 lines on the graph. Point A is at (0, 400), point B is at (0, 250), point C is at (300, 250), and point D is at (0, 100). The first line begins at p = 100 on the positive p-axis at point D, goes up and right, passes through the point C crossing the second line, and exits the window in the first quadrant. The second line begins at p = 400 on the positive p-axis at point A, goes down and right, passes through the point C crossing the first line, and exits the window in the first quadrant. (a) Label each function as "demand" or "supply." function 1 ---Select--- function 2 ---Select---
(b) Which of the labeled points is the equilibrium point? point A point B point C point D
