Importance of Graphs in
Economics
In economics, graphs are used to visually
illustrate relationships between economicvariables.
The relationship is either direct (also known
as a positive relationship) or inverse (also
known as a negative relationship).

What assumption isalways made when
testing a model?
Ceteris Paribus
5
What isCeteris Paribus?
A Latin phrase that means thatwhile certain variables can change,all other things remain unchanged
If this assumption is violated, a model cannotbe tested.

Graphs
A direct relationship between two variables means that asone variable increases this causes the other variable to alsoincrease in value; and vice versa. A direct relationship isillustrated graphically as an upward sloping, or positivelysloped line or curve.
An inverse relationship between two variables means thatas one variable increases this causes the other variable to
decrease in value; and vice versa. An inverse relationshipis illustrated graphically as a downward sloping, ornegatively sloped line or curve.

There is aDirect Relationship
between two variablesWhen one increases,the other increasesand vice versa

There is an IndependentRelationship betweentwo variables (No relation)
That is when one variable
changes, the other variableremains unchanged
17
What is theSlope of a line?
The ratio of change in thevariable on the vertical axis(the rise or fall) to changein the variable on thehorizontal axis (the run).

Slope = rise/run =
vertical axis/horizontal axis= Y/X
19
Slope of a Curve
The slope is the change of rise over the
change in run.
The slope of a curve at any point is
equal to the slope of the straight line
drawn tangent to the curve at that
point..

22
Can Slope varyalong a curve?
Yes, the slope of a curvecan vary along the curve,
as the tangent lines differat different points of thecurve.
23
What can change
other than price?When income increases, forexample, the whole demandcurve shifts upward

A decrease in the price per CD causes a
movement downward along each curve. However, any change in the ceteris paribus,
represented by the change in income willcause a shift in the curve itself.
In this case, As the annual income rises,there is a shift rightward in the position ofthe demand curve

The difference between amovement along a curveand a shift in the curve?
When price changes, thereis movement along acurve. When somethingother than price changes,
the whole curve shifts.

A shift in a curve occursonly when the ceteris paribusassumption is relaxed and athird variable not on either axisof the graph is allowed tochange

1. Straight line CD in Exhibit A-7 shows that
a. increasing the value of X will increase thevalue of Y.
b. decreasing the value of X will decreasethe value of Y.
c. there is a direct relationship between Xand Y.
d. all of the above.
1999 South-Western College Publishing
D. As the value of X increases, the valueof Y increases, and vice versa; this iscalled a direct relationship.

2. In Exhibit A-7, the slope of straight lineCD is
a. 3.
b. 1.
c. -1.
d. 1/2.
D. The slope of a line is measured by the
rise over the run, or a change in verticaldivided by a change in the horizontal.For example, as Y increases from 5 unitsto 15, X increases from 0 to 20. Theslope is 10 divided by 20.

3. In Exhibit A-7, the slope of straight lineCD is
a. positive.
b. zero.c. negative.
d. variable.
A. When both X and Y move in the samedirection, it is said that they aredirectly related to one another.

b. decreasing the value of X increases thevalue of Y.
c. there is an inverse relationship betweenX and Y.
d. all of the above.
D. When the value of X decreases, thevalue of Y increases and vice versa;this shows a direct relationshipbetween X and Y.

5. As shown in Exhibit A-8, the slope ofstraight line AB
a. decreases with increases in X.
b. increases with increases in X.
c. increases with decreases in X.
d. remains constant with changes in X.
D. The slope of a straight line stays thesame between the two points on the line.
37
6. In Exhibit A-8, the slope of straightline AB is
a. 3.
b. 1.
c. -1.d. -5.
C. There is a one to one inverse ratiobetween a change in X and a change inY. For example, as Y decreases from20 units to 0, X increases from 0 to 20.The slope is -20 divided by 20.

7. A shift is a curve represents a change ina. the variable on the horizontal axis.
b. the variable on the vertical axis.
c. a third variable that is not on eitheraxis.
d. any variable that is relevant to therelationship being graphed.
C. A shift occurs when somethingchanges other than the price.
39
8. A change in a third variable not oneither axis of a graph is illustratedwith a
a. horizontal or vertical line.
b. movement along a curve.c. shift of a curve.
d. point of intersection.
C. When price changes the movement isalways along a stationary curve. Whensomething changes other than price,the whole curve shifts.
