Explain inelastic diagram
Price and quantity on the axes demand normal supply normal shift in supply to the left, draw Z across from where S1 meets Q2,, label X as bottom right of rectangle, label T where supply to and price to connect

Price on one access quantity on the other axes, more shallow demand curve supply shifts left and label as same as inelastic
Where is tax revenue
T, P, Z, X:
Where is consumer burden
T, A, P1 and P2
Where is the producer burden
P A X Z
