Exam 4: Individual and Market Demand

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.Assuming that food consumption is measured along the horizontal axis and the consumption of movies is measured on the vertical axis,derive the slope of Alex's budget line.
