A positive cross elasticity of demand indicates that the two goods are substitutes. This means that if the price of one good increases, the demand for the other good will increase. A negative cross elasticity of demand indicates that the two goods are complements. This means that if the price of one good increases, the demand for the other good will decrease.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, tea and coffee are substitutes. This is because they are both beverages that people can consume to quench their thirst. When the price of tea increases, people will switch to coffee, which is a cheaper alternative.
