The

following figure depicts two demand curves, 

D1 (steeper) and D2 (shallower).

We can re-write the definition of elasticity from the textbook as:

So, it is equal to the negative of the product of two ratios: (i) price over quantity, P/Q, and (ii) change in quantity over change in price, ΔQ/ΔP, which is the slope of the demand curve. For both of the demand curves above, the slope is constant.

By convention, the demand curve is always drawn with Q on the x-axis, so as drawn, the slope of the demand curve is:

Which of the following statements is correct?

At the point where the two curves cross D2 must be more elastic than D1.

0%

Demand curve D2 is always less elastic than demand curve D1.

0%

Demand curve D1 is always more elastic than D2.

0%

The slope of the demand curve gives you enough information to work out elasticity.
