Question: 1. Let the supply function for sugar by given by p = S(q) = 1.4q - 0.6 and the demand function be given by p

1. Let the supply function for sugar by given by p = S(q) = 1.4q - 0.6 and the demand function be given by p = D(q) = -2q + 2.4 where p is the price per pound and q is the quantity in thousands of pounds. (a) Graph these functions on the axes below (take note of the scale). Clearly label which curve is the graph of p = S(q), which curve is the graph of p = D(q), and label the axes to receive full credit.
