For a linear demand curve, the point elasticity of demand will be greater at higher prices relative to lower prices.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a linear demand curve, the elasticity of demand varies along the curve. At higher prices (and lower quantities), the demand is relatively more elastic because a small change in price results in a larger percentage change in quantity demanded compared to the same price change at lower prices (and higher quantities).
