Solution

Relatively Elastic Supply

Explanation:

According to the geometric method for measuring the price elasticity of supply (Es), a linear supply curve that intersects the vertical Y-axis (price axis) above the origin indicates a relatively elastic supply (Es > 1). This indicates that the percentage change in the amount provided of the commodity exceeds the percentage change in its market price.
