Please help with the following
![**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram displays a perfectly elastic demand curve for good X. This is represented by a horizontal line at price \( P_2 \). The y-axis is labeled "P (dollars)" and the x-axis is labeled "Q (units)." The curve, labeled as "D," indicates that at price \( P_2 \), the quantity demanded can be infinite. Any deviation in price above \( P_2 \) (at \( P_3 \)) or below \( P_2 \) (at \( P_1 \)) will result in a quantity demanded that is zero units, as evidenced by the dashed lines at these price levels.
**Question:**
Consider the following perfectly elastic demand curve for good X. At a price of \( P_1 \), quantity demanded ____.
- ○ is 0 units
- ○ is \( \infty \) units
- ○ cannot be determined](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd20ccb4f-d2ff-4047-a742-194d73bab825%2Fbecaf7d9-7032-43ba-a058-6ea8a2042d7d%2F1gyuzm_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
