Is the price elasticity constant along the demand curve?
Price elasticity of demand is equal to the instantaneous slope of the demand curve, or the slope of the tangent line at any point on the demand curve. So if the demand curve is represented by a straight downward sloping line, then yes, price elasticity of demand is equal to the slope of the demand curve. Otherwise, the slope at any point on the curve is changing, and you can find the it by taking the derivative of the demand curve function, which will find the Price elasticity of demand at any single point. Thus, the Price Elasticity of Demand changes at different points on the demand curve.
Is price elasticity constant along demand curves?
explain why the price elasticity of demand varies along a demand curve, even if the demand curve is linear.
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 is difference between slope and the calculation of elasticity for a linear demand curve?
Along a linear demand curve elasticity varies from point to point of the demand curve with respect to different price, but slope is constant
When demand curve is rectangular Hyperbola the elasticity of demand will be?
Unitary Elactic

Why The horizontal axis of a demand curve displays?
elasticity
A demand curve with Unitary Elasticity at all points is?
Is negatively sloped linear curve
Why is the demand curve not representative of price elasticity?
price elasticities are always negative hence brings ambiguities in the demand curve
Why isn't elasticity solely determined by the slope of the demand curve?
Elasticity is not solely determined by the slope of the demand curve because elasticity also considers the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price changes. The slope of the demand curve only shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded, but elasticity takes into account the percentage change in quantity demanded relative to the percentage change in price. This means that elasticity provides a more accurate measure of how sensitive consumers are to price changes compared to just looking at the slope of the demand curve.
What is the equilibrium of a firm?
The equilibrium of a firm depends with the elasticity of a demand curve.
Different degrees of elasticity of demand?
Perfectly elastic demand. Relative elastic demand. Unit elasticity of demand. Relative inelastic demand. Perfectly inelastic demand.
Difference between arc and point elasticity?
1) Point elasticity is measured by the ratio of the lower segment of the curve below the given point to uppa segment the super part of the curve above the point. 2) Arc elasticity is measured by the use of mid point between the old & the new figures in the case of both prine and qualitiy demonded.
