  • Elasticity
    A measure comparing percentage changes in two variables, revealing how responsive one is to changes in the other.
  • Slope
    A ratio showing the unit change between two variables, remaining constant along a straight line.
  • Linear Demand Curve
    A straight line graph connecting price and quantity, with constant unit changes but varying percentage changes.
  • Unit Elastic Point
    The midpoint on a demand curve where total revenue reaches its highest value.
  • Elastic Section
    The part of a demand curve where percentage change in quantity demanded exceeds that of price.
  • Inelastic Section
    The region of a demand curve where percentage change in price is greater than that of quantity demanded.
  • Total Revenue
    The result of multiplying price by quantity sold, indicating overall earnings from sales.
  • Midpoint
    The central location on a linear demand curve dividing elastic and inelastic regions.
  • Percentage Change
    A calculation expressing how much a variable increases or decreases relative to its original value.
  • Quantity Demanded
    The amount of a good consumers are willing to buy at a specific price.
  • Price Axis
    The vertical line on a graph representing different possible prices for a good.
  • Quantity Axis
    The horizontal line on a graph showing various amounts of a good.
  • Revenue Maximization
    The point where earnings from sales are at their highest, typically at the unit elastic point.
