Supply
the quantity of a good and/or service that producers are willing and able to offer for sale at each possible price during a certain time period
Demand
the quantity of a good or service that buyers are willing to and able to buy at all possible prices during a certain time period
Law of demand
as the price of a good increases, the quantity demand of that good decreases
Normal good
demand increases when income increases
Inferior good
demand decreases when income increases
Substitute

complements
two goods are complements a decrease in the price of one good leads to an increase in the demand for the other
Law of demand
as the price of a increases the quantity demanded of the that good decreases
