A monopolist faces a downward sloping demand curve (from left to right). This is because in a monopoly, the firm is the sole producer of a product with no close substitutes, hence, it has market power to set its own price. As the price increases, the quantity demanded decreases, and vice versa. This is reflected in a downward sloping demand curve.

Unfortunately, I can't draw a diagram here, but I can describe it to you.

1. On the vertical axis (Y-axis), we have the price (P).
2. On the horizontal axis (X-axis), we have the quantity (Q).
3. The demand curve (D) slopes downward from left to right, indicating that as the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases.
4. The monopolist's marginal cost (MC) curve intersects the demand curve at the profit-maximizing quantity.
5. The price is determined on the demand curve at this profit-maximizing quantity.

This model reflects the monopolist's ability to influence the price of the product in the market.
