Please I really need help in the arc elasticity demand. (Graph)

Question 1: Suppose that business travelers and vacationers have the following demand for airline tickets
from New York to Boston:
Quantity Demanded Quantity Demanded
(business travelers)
Price
(vacationers)
2,100 tickets
2,000
1,900
1,800
$150
1,000 tickets
200
800
250
600
300
400
a) As the price of tickets rises from $200 to $250, what is the price elasticity of demand for (i)
