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!

Inelastic Demand & Elastic Demand
When a change in price does not lead to changes in demand the demand is called?

it is perfectly inelastic
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.

when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
