If a market is faced with a horizontal demand curve, then the demand in that market by consumers is perfectly elastic. More simply, any minuscule change in price causes a huge change in quantity demanded.

Is this true or false an increase in demand is represented by a movement up the demand curve?

That would depend on what point of the curve you mean.


3 Why is it difficult to judge the price elasticity of demand if you are merely observing the appearance of a demand curve on a graph?

Because elasticity is changes depending on the price it is evaluated at. This will then mean that elasticity is different at different point on a demand curve. It can also depend on the scale the demand curve is drawn to


What does it mean to shift the demand curve to the right?

an increase in quantity demanded.


What does a perfectly elastic demand curve mean?

it is the graphic representation of the changes in demand due to the availability of equal important substitude.


What does it mean when the demand curve shifts to the right?

When the demand curve shifts to the right, it means that there is an increase in demand for a product or service at every price point. This can be due to factors such as changes in consumer preferences, income levels, or advertising efforts.


What is non intersecting for geometry?

In the context of Euclidean straight lines it would mean parallel lines. In the context of a curve and a line (or another curve) it would mean the line and the curve do not meet at any point, but not a lot more can be deduced about them.


What does it mean if the demand curve shifts to the right and how does it impact the market equilibrium"?

When the demand curve shifts to the right, it means that consumers are willing to buy more of a product at each price level. This increase in demand leads to a higher equilibrium price and quantity in the market.


Why price on y-axis in demand function?

bez when demand function have price on y-axis, its mean that price have the inverse relation to the demand, in other words price lead to demand curve.


What happens when demand rises by more than supply falls?

If demand rises, the demand curve will shift to the right. A fall in supply will mean that the curve moves leftwards. The result is higher prices at a lower quantity. Excess demand may occur


What part of the curve represents the elastic deformation of a material?

I assume you mean the curve of length against applied force (or mass) for a wire. The beginning part of the curve should be a straight line, and this is where the deformation is elastic. When the substance passes its elastic limit, the line starts to curve up.

What does it mean when a demand curve shifts to the left?

When a demand curve shifts to the left, it means that there is a decrease in the quantity demanded at every price level. This could be due to factors such as a decrease in consumer income, a change in consumer preferences, or the introduction of a substitute product.
