if the price elasticity of demand equals 1, the demand curve is...
unitary (unit) elasticity
none of these answers are correct
elastic
inelastic
The price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price. When the price elasticity of demand is equal to 1, it is defined as unitary (or unit) elasticity. Elastic demand has a price elasticity of demand greater than 1, and inelastic demand has a price elasticity of demand less than 1. So the correct option is the one labeled "Unitary (unit) elasticity".
