Linear Demand Curve
A linear demand curve depicts a direct, inverse relationship between the price of a product and the quantity demanded, represented graphically as a straight line.
Inelastic Portion
A segment of the demand curve where consumers are less sensitive to price changes, implying that the quantity demanded changes only slightly in response to large changes in price.
Elastic Portion
The segment of a demand or supply curve where a change in price leads to a more than proportional change in quantity demanded or supplied.
