Linear supply functions

For higher level, you need to be able to understand linear supply functions and to be able to calculate supply and plot a supply curve from a supply function. The presentation below goes through this. Click on the screenshot or link below to open the presentation. It will open in a new web window. You will need a headset or speakers to listen to the explanation.
