  • Elasticity
    Ratio of percentage changes between two variables, indicating responsiveness of one variable to changes in another.
  • Slope
    Ratio of unit changes between two variables, measured in specific units, not percentages.
  • Linear Demand Curve
    Graphical representation connecting price and quantity axes with a straight line, showing constant unit changes.
  • Elastic Demand
    Section of a demand curve where percentage change in quantity exceeds percentage change in price.
  • Inelastic Demand
    Section of a demand curve where percentage change in price exceeds percentage change in quantity.
  • Unit Elasticity
    Point on a demand curve where percentage change in price equals percentage change in quantity.
  • Total Revenue
    Product of price and quantity, showing how much money is generated at each point along the demand curve.
  • Price Axis
    Vertical axis on a graph representing different price levels for a good or service.
  • Quantity Axis
    Horizontal axis on a graph representing different quantities demanded for a good or service.
  • Revenue Maximization
    Point on a demand curve where total revenue reaches its highest value.
  • Percentage Change
    Relative change between two values, expressed as a proportion of the original value.
  • Middle Point
    Central location on a linear demand curve where unit elasticity and maximum revenue occur.
  • Graphical Representation
    Visual display of relationships between variables, such as price, quantity, and total revenue.
  • Demand Schedule
    Table listing prices and corresponding quantities demanded, used to plot the demand curve.
