you take away the minus sign pretty sure. so anything > 1 would be elastic, smaller than 1 would be inelastic and 1 is called unitary elastic

You don't need to know much about elasticity. Just know that elasticity for more than 1 is elastic and less than 1 is inelastic and just know factors that cause this and what they look like on a graph.
