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.


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


Which direction does the demand curve slope?

Is always negative. (should be in all caps for emphasis)


A typical demand curve show is that?

ok so the typical demand is a dog :D


Is demand curve canbe upwardly sloping?

A demand curve can have an upwards slope. It solely depends on if the demand for an item is high or low.


How can one calculate marginal revenue from a demand curve?

To calculate marginal revenue from a demand curve, you can find the slope of the demand curve at a specific quantity using calculus or by taking the first derivative of the demand function. The marginal revenue is then equal to the price at that quantity minus the slope of the demand curve multiplied by the quantity.


Demand curve slopes downwards from left to right. this is the negative slope that shows the inverse relationship between price and demand. explain why does the demand curve slope downwards?

because demand decreases as price increases :)


How does the principle of diminishing marginal utility explain the slope of the demand curve?

The principle of diminishing marginal utility explains the slope of the demand curve by letting us be able to see which direction the slope is in, which is always downward.


What is the paradoxical demand curve?

Paradoxical demand curve is a theory that the slope of a product will change a different times. This is called Griffin's Paradox.


Explain the difference between price elasticity of demand and the slope of a demand curve?

Price elasticity is a specific type of slope of the demand curve. A perfectly inelastic demand means that the quantity will not change with the price. This line is perfectly vertical. A perfectly elastic demand curve is horizontal and means that at any given quantity, there is only one price. Also, a slope gets steeper, demand becomes more inelastic.


Indifference curve analysis is not much in use because it only tells us that demand curve has a negative slope except when they don't .?

indifference curve analysis is not much in use because it only tells us that demand curve has a negative slope except when they don't ....


Why do the demand curve slope downward?

The demand curve will have a downward slope indicating ________ . A. the expansion of demand with a fall in price B. contraction of demand with a rise in price C. the expansion of demand with a fall in price and contraction of demand with a rise in price D. rise in price causes a rise in supply
