Christ almighty, it isn't that difficult. Supply curves generally are slanted from bottom left to top right on graphs, but that is neither here nor there.
The lines elasticity would come into play. If the supply is perfectly inelastic (say, if you brought fish back from a boat but only brought the same number every week, no matter what demand was like) the supply curve would be perfectly vertical, and if the curve was completely elastic, the curve would be perfectly horizontal.
Now, it doesn't matter where the demand and supply curves are, but the point is usually to see where they cross, in the attempt tp find an equilibrium price, where you can charge the most and get the most profit (for instance, if you charged £10, you would only sell one monkey, but if you charged £5, your demand is much higher and you would sell 3, making three a better price to sell at).
So yeah, demand curves are usually where he put the supply curve, but in rare cases it can happen this way, not that it matters on 4chan.
