Exercise 2

The Dangerous Curves box titled "Slope and Elasticity," states that when two demand curves share a point,then for a given price change and starting at that shared point demand will be more elastic along the flatter curve. Does this statement remain true if we replace the word "starting" with the word "ending"? Explain why or why not.
