Equilibrium Point
□ Reading the Chart: The orange supply curve slopes upward (higher prices encourage more production), while the blue demand curve slopes downward (higher prices discourage purchases). Where they intersect is the purple equilibrium point - the market price where supply equals demand. Use the sliders below to see how external factors shift these curves and change the market outcome!

□ How the Sliders Work:
The sliders represent percentage changes in market conditions. Moving left (-50) means a 50% decrease in costs/interest, while moving right (+50) means a 50% increase. For example:
Supply: +25 = Production costs increased 25% (curve shifts left/up)
Demand: +30 = Consumer interest increased 30% (curve shifts right/up)
