Question

Suppose a consumer only purchases food and clothing, and food is plotted along the horizontal axis of the consumer's indifference map. If the price of clothing increases and the price of food and income do not change, then the budget line changes by rotating: Group of answer choices clockwise about the fixed horizontal axis intercept. clockwise about the fixed vertical axis intercept. counter-clockwise about the fixed vertical axis intercept. counter-clockwise about the fixed horizontal axis intercept. none of these options is correct.

Answer 1

counter-clockwise about the fixed horizontal axis intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

An indifference curve is a graph that shows the two combinations of goods for which an individual is indifferent in its consumption.

Points on an indifference curve represents various combination of goods to which an individual is indifferent to

higher indifference curve represents higher level of utility

An indifference map is a graph of various indifference curves

On the indifference map, indifference curves that are higher would be more preferred to those that are lower
