This law states that with all else equal, when the price of a good rises, the quantity demanded falls – and when the price falls, the quantity demanded rises. The supply curve provides the opposite information: the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied – and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

At this price, the goods supplied are equal to what is being demanded thereby bringing about the most efficient allocation of the goods.
