Exam 5: Production and Cost

Assume your company produces good X using only two inputs,capital (K)and labor (L).Also,assume L is measured on the vertical axis and K on the horizontal one.If the prices of inputs are P_K= $30 and P_L= 15,and your company is behaving efficiently,what is the slope of the isoquant at the current input mix?
