Explanation:

Well the slope of a straight line demand curve is constant. The slope is part of the eleasticity (E) formula. But this does not make the elasticity constant. In fact the absolute value of E is higher than one (E>1) on the upper portion of the demand curve. In the middle of the curve the absolute E value is equal to one (E=1); and after that the absolute E value gets smaller and smaller (E<1)
