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....
