Price elasticity of demand along a linear, downward-sloping demand curve decreases as price falls.
Price Elasticity
A measure of how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good, indicating the sensitivity of demand to price changes.
Linear
Pertaining to a relationship or an equation that can be represented by a straight line in a graphical representation, illustrating a constant rate of change.
Downward-Sloping
A characteristic of a graph or curve that shows a decrease in one variable in response to an increase in another, commonly seen in demand curves.
