  • The price elasticity of demand for a demand curve with a constant slope varies over the entire range of the elasticity continuum:

    • The perfectly elastic range, or rather point, is the intersection between the demand curve and the vertical price axis.

    • The relatively elastic range is the "upper" half of the demand curve between midpoint and the vertical price axis.

    • The unit elastic range, or point, is the exact midpoint that divides the demand curve into two equal segments.

    • The relatively elastic range is the "lower" half of the demand curve between midpoint and the horizontal quantity axis.

    • The perfectly inelastic range, or point, is intersection between the demand curve and the horizontal quantity axis.
