    The formula for the price elasticity is given by

    e = [ (Q2 - Q1) / Q1] / [ (P2 - P1) / P1]

    Substituting the given values

    e = [ (5 - 8) / 8] / [ (3 - 2) / 2]

    e = - 0.75

    The demand is inelastic since the elasticity is less than 1. The graph would be a line sloping towards the left.
