Effective demand: Effective demand is defined as the total expenditure incurred by all people in an economy on the various goods and services produced in the economy over a given period of time.

The x-axis represents the income/output level and the y-axis represents the level of aggregate demand. E is the equilibrium point where the two curves (AS and AD) meet. EQ is the effective demand and the output level as determined by AD (assuming the elasticity of supply to be perfectly elastic).
