Answer to Question 1

No, if the demand for a good is inelastic, when the price falls, the quantity demanded increases, but by a smaller percentage than the percentage fall in price. Thus the negative relationship between the price and the quantity demanded remains, and the demand curve still slopes downward, which is the law of demand.

Answer to Question 2
