    This is not a maths exam!

    It is of no relevant what the sign of ‘b’ is. The price is always equal to a – bQ. Ignore the sign of b.

    Do watch my free lectures on this. Then it should be obvious that for a higher Q, then the price must always be lower.

    It is no good just learning rules – only 50% of the exam involves calculations. The rest of it is testing that you understand what is happening 🙂
