Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of demand of Good Z using the following information: When the price of

good Z is $10 (P1), the quantity demanded of good Z is 85 units (Q1). When the price of good Z rises to $15 (P2), the quantity demanded of good Z falls to 60 units (Q2).
(A) The price elasticity of demand for good Z = 1.90.
(B) The price elasticity of demand for good Z = 0.86.
(C) The price elasticity of demand for good Z =0.76.
(D) The price elasticity of demand for good Z = 0.52.

Answer: (B) The price elasticity of demand for good Z = 0.86

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining elasticity of demand by using the midpoint method is

(Q2 - Q1)/[(Q2 + Q1)/2] / (P2 - P1)/[(P2 + P1)/2]

Where

P1 is the initial price of the item.

P2 is the final price of the item.

Q1 is the initial quantity demanded for the item.

Q2 is the final quantity demanded for the item.

From the information given,

P1 = 10

P2 = 15

Q1 = 85

Q2 = 60

The price elasticity of demand for good Z = (60 - 85)/[(60 + 85)/2] / (15 - 10)/[(15 + 10)/2]

= (-25/72.5) / (5/12.5) = -25/72.5 × 12.5/5

= - 312.5/362.5 = - 0.86

Does the point (0,4) make either equations y=-2x and y=x+3 true? Explain.
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

To verify, we substitute the values in the equations:

y = -2x\\y = -2 \times 0\\y = 0

however, the value should be 4. Hence this equation does not satisfy the co-ordinate.

y = x+3\\y= 0+3\\y = 3

however, the value should be 4. Hence this equation does not satisfy the co-ordinate.

Without graphing, determine whether the following pair of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicul
Tomtit [17]

Write the equation of the lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

First equation: It is already in slope-intercept form

y=\frac{2}{5}x-4

Second equation: solve y:

\begin{gathered} 4x-10y=-7 \\ 4x-4x-10y=-4x-7 \\ -10y=-4x-7 \\ \frac{-10}{-10}y=\frac{-4}{-10}x-\frac{7}{-10} \\  \\ y=\frac{4}{10}x+\frac{7}{10} \\  \\ y=\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{7}{10} \end{gathered}

Identify the slope of each line:

If two or more lines have the same slope then the lines are parallel

If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals then the lines are perpendicular

The two given lines have the same slope: 2/5. Then, they are parallel lines
