an efficient utilization of resources
The economy's production possibilities would drop if there was a reduction in the number of hours worked each day. Since, production is dependent on labor, there would be less products produced.
Let's briefly explore each one of these and see how they shift the curve. Probably what you hear about most in economics is how changes in technology affect the curve. For example, let's say the country discovers a new technology, such as a new computer system that improves productivity. Anything that improves the productivity of workers is good. This causes output to increase, so the production possibilities curve shifts outward, or to the right. On the other hand, let's say a major war causes destruction of capital equipment in the country. This would cause output to decrease, so in this case, the production possibilities curve shifts inward, or to the left.
There are several things that would do this, the most common being an increase in the price of constituent imports. Therefore, the price of the output would rise (shift to the left) at each constituent point.
Each point on a market supply curve denotes basically the same thing. Each point on the curve corresponds to the supply of something, but at a specific or given price.
A production possibility curve depends on factors of production because they are all part of one big group. For example, if raw material does not arrive when needed, there can be no production. Each part of the production process depends on the step before it.

The distance from the fixed point at the center of a circle to any point on the curve is called the radius.

The slope of the curve at each point on thegraph is the speed at that point in time. (Not velocity.)

To graph the set of all the solutions to an equation in two variables, means to draw a curve on a plane, such that each solution to the equation is a point on the curve, and each point on the curve is a solution to the equation. The simplest curve is a straight line.
The slope of a curved line changes as you go along the curve and so you may have a different slope at each point. Any any particular point, the slope of the curve is the slope of the straight line which is tangent to the curve at that point. If you know differential calculus, the slope of a curved line at a point is the value of the first derivative of the equation of the curve at that point. (Actually, even if you don't know differential calculus, the slope is still the value of the function's first derivative at that point.)
