Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>1. The slope is negative</u>
- <u>2. The demand decreases when the prices increase.</u>
Explanation:
<em>Describe the slope of the demand curve?</em>
<em>The slope of the demand curve</em> is negative.
The demand curve is graphed on a coordinate plane with the price in the horizontal axis (typically the x-axis) and the demand on the vertical axis (y-axis).
Thus, the slope will be the rate of change of the demand over the change on the price.
Mathematically:

Since, as you move from left to right, on the x-axis, the prices increase, and the demand (on the y-axis) lowers, the change in demand is negative and the change in the prices is positive, resulting in a negative slope.
This is seen graphycally because the demand curve is decreasing (downward-sloping).
<em>How does the slope reflect the law of demand?</em>
The slope reflects perfectly <em>the law of demand</em> because the law of demand states that, since the resources are scarce, when the prices incrases the quantities demanded decrease.

Answer:
b. Place the company on a restricted list and give only factual information about the company.
Explanation:
There is an ethical problem in the scenario that borders on professional code of conducts in the area of objectivity and independence.
It was stated in the scenario that ''the head of the investment banking department has asked the head of the brokerage unit <u>to change the recommendation from "sell" to "buy."</u>
This is a case of wanting to interfere with the <u>objectivity</u> of the recommendations which should be based on <u>facts not bias</u>.
Secondly, the head of investment banking is trying to interfere with the <u>independence</u> of the head of brokerage unit.
According to the Standards, the head of the brokerage unit would be permitted to place the company on a restricted list and <u>give only factual information</u> about the company.
