Inelastic demand is when the quantity demanded of a good doesn't respond strongly to changes in price
The percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price (% change in Qd < % change in P)
Equilibrium price (Ep) is less than 1 (Ep < 1)
The demand curve for an inelastic good would be fairly steep
Hope this helps!

Somebody else's response:
when demand doesnt alter greatly in relation to an increase or decrease of price

it is perfectly inelastic
When the price of a good will cause total revenue to fall if price elasticity of demand is elastic or inelastic?
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
An elasticity measure less than one means that demand is what?
for elasticity less than one the demand will be inelastic, i.e there will be very less effect of price on the demand.It will be relative inelastic or inelastic.
Draw a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?
A perfectly inelastic demand curve will be completely horizontal and means that consumers would any price for a particular good, which is almost impossible. The closer to being horizontal a demand curve is, the more inelastic the demand.
How would the demand curve of cigarettes?
Demand curve will be perfect inelastic
