If two supply curves are intersecting each other, then the flatter supply curve will have more elasticity than the steeper supply curve.
It is clear from the diagram that the effect of change in price form OP to `OP_(1)` is more of flatter supply curve SS as `OQ_(2)gtOQ_(1)`.
Hence, it is proved that at the point of intersection of supply curves, flatter the curve, more elastic it is.
