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

Which statement best explains the relationship between lines FG and HJ?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure, we have

The coordinates of the point F are: (-4,1).

The coordinates of the point G are: (0,-2)

The coordinates of the point J are: (0,4) and

The coordinates of the point H are: (-4,-2).

Now, the slope of the line FG is :

$S=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$S=\frac{-2-1}{0+4}$

$S=\frac{-3}{4}$

And, the slope of the line HJ is:

$S=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$S=\frac{-2-4}{-4-0}$

$S=\frac{3}{2}$

Now, $the slope of FG=\frac{1}{slope of HJ}$

$\frac{-3}{4}=\frac{2}{3}$

which is not possible, thus They are not perpendicular because their slopes are not negative reciprocals.
