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.
The labor demand curve of a purely competitive seller perfectly elastic?
yes the demand curve is perfectly inelastic and horizontal
When does supply curve look like a demand curve?
When supply and demand are perfectly elastic/inelastic
What is the distinctive feature of the demand curve of a firm in pure competition?
The demand curve would be perfectly elastic.
Is a vertical demand elastic?
A vertical demand curve represents perfectly inelastic demand, meaning that the quantity demanded does not change regardless of price changes. Consumers will purchase the same amount of the good, regardless of its price, indicating that they have no substitutes or alternatives. In this case, the price elasticity of demand is equal to zero.

A perfectly price- inelastic demand curve is A horizontal b downward sloping c upward sloping d vertical?
A perfectly price-inelastic demand curve is vertical (Parallel to Y-axix) because the percentage change in quantity demanded is nil whatever the percentage change happens in price.
The labor demand curve of a purely competitive seller perfectly elastic?
yes the demand curve is perfectly inelastic and horizontal
When does supply curve look like a demand curve?
When supply and demand are perfectly elastic/inelastic
What is the distinctive feature of the demand curve of a firm in pure competition?
The demand curve would be perfectly elastic.
What is the difference between a perfectly elastic and a perfectly inelastic demand curve in economics?
A perfectly elastic demand curve means that the quantity demanded changes infinitely with a change in price, while a perfectly inelastic demand curve means that the quantity demanded remains constant regardless of price changes.
Is a vertical demand elastic?
A vertical demand curve represents perfectly inelastic demand, meaning that the quantity demanded does not change regardless of price changes. Consumers will purchase the same amount of the good, regardless of its price, indicating that they have no substitutes or alternatives. In this case, the price elasticity of demand is equal to zero.
What does the demand curve state?
As price (on the horizontal) increases, demand (on the vertical) will decrease.
What type of curve does the perfectly competitive firm face?
perfectly elastic demand function.
A demand curve which is parallel to the vertical axis is?
When the demand curve is horizontal to the x axis, it is said to be elastic and therefore more responsive to changes in price. When the demand curve is vertical, it is more inelastic and consumers will be more apt to purchase a good regardless of the price.
What is the demand curve for output of a perfectly competitive firm?
Demand = Price = Marginal Cost.
What is a perfectly inelastic supply curve?
A perfectly inelastic supply relation would be defined as one where the quantity produced remains static under any price change. If we'd plot this curve in the familiar demand-supply framework with price being on the y-axis and quantity on the x-axis, the curve would be vertical.
