3. Using the midpoint method

The following graph shows two known points (X and Y) on a demand curve for apples.

PRICE (Dollars per pound)

According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for apples between point X and point Y is approximately 0.03 or 0.1 or 0.33 or 3, which suggests that the demand for apples is elastic or inelastic between points X and Y.
