Individual and market demand Suppose that Sam and Teresa are the only consumers of pizza slices in a particular market. The following table shows their weekly demand schedules: On the following graph, plot Sam's demand for pizza slices using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Teresa's demand for pizza slices using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for pizza slices using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right.
