Consider the​ downward-sloping linear demand curve in the figure at the right. Use the line drawing tool to draw and label another​ straight-line downward-sloping demand​ curve, D Subscript 1​, that intersects point A and is relatively more inelastic than the original demand curve. Be sure to draw your new demand curve intersecting point​ A, but do not draw a vertical or horizontal line.

The elasticity of demand will change along which kind of demand curve? a. elasticity of demand remains constant along all demand curves b. a horizontal demand curve c. a linear, upward-sloping demand curve d. a linear, downward-sloping demand curve

When demand curves intersect, the curve with the larger slope in absolute value (the steeper demand curve) is more elastic?

00:01 Consider the downward sloping linear demand curve in the figure on the right.
00:05 Use the line drawing tool to draw the label and label another straight line downward sloping demand curve d1 that intersects point a and is more relatively more inelastic than the original demand curve.
00:20 Be sure to show your draw your new demand curve intersecting point a but do not draw a vertical horizontal line.
00:27 So a downward sloping linear demand curve, the downward slope of a linear demand curve reflects the law of the demand that states that the consumer tend to demand less of a good when the price is increasing.
00:43 So the demand would be decreasing when the price is increasing and that's the downward slope of the linear demand curve...
