Answer:

Price elasticity of demand = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Old quantity demanded = 200

New quantity demanded = 150

Old price = 8

New price = 10

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

percentage change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demand / old demand × 100

= 50/200 × 100

= 0.25 × 100

= 25%

percentage change in price = change in price / old price × 100

= 2/8 × 100

= 0.25 × 100

= 25%

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

= 25% / 25%

= 1

Price elasticity of demand = 1

Given the equation, y= ; x-4, what is the slope and the y-intercept?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: Slope is 1 because if we have x by itself, we assume it is only one.

y-intercept because according to the slope intercept formula, (y=mx+b), it is in the correct spot.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x + 2y = -2 and goes through the point (6,2)

notka56 [123]

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse reciprocals of each other. That would give you the new slope in your equation. After that plug (6,2) into point slope form and solve to get your final equation.
