The law of supply states that, other things being constant, as price increases

  1. Supply increases
  2. Supply decreases
  3. Quantity supplied increases ✓
  4. Quantity supplied decreases
Explanation

The law of supply says that when price rises, producers are willing to sell more, so the quantity supplied increases.

Do not confuse this with a rise in supply. Supply itself changes only when other things, such as the cost of production, change. A price change only moves us along the same supply curve.
