Elasticity - Linear Demand Numerical 1    To the right is a demand curve with a slope of -1. We're going to use it to illustrate how varied elasticity can be at different points on the same linear demand curve. First, consider the movement in price from 11 to 10, with a corresponding increase in quantity of 1 to 2. Let's compute the arc elasticity....
