If demand for a good is perfectly inelastic, then the demand curve is vertical. the demand curve is horizontal. the own price elasticity of demand is infinite in absolute value. a small increase in price will lead to a situation where none of the good is purchased.

If the quantity of a commodity demanded remains unchanged as its price changes, the coefficient of price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, equal to 1, smaller than 1, or zero.

If the own price elasticity of demand is infinite in absolute value, then: demand is perfectly elastic. the demand curve is vertical. consumers do not respond at all to changes in price. the demand curve is vertical and consumers do not respond at all to changes in price.
