Question 47

Alex distributes his monthly income of $600 between two goods,movies and food.By spending his entire income on movies,he can enjoy a maximum of 20 movies.On the other hand,by spending his entire income on food he can consume a total of 60 units of food.Assume that food consumption is measured along the horizontal axis and the consumption of movies is measured on the vertical axis.Calculate the slope of Alex's budget line when the price of food increases to $20 while the price of movie remains unchanged.
