Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume mpc, is the slope of the consumption function and it is what this question requires us to find

We have income increase to be = 100 dollars

Then consumption increase = 75 dollars

MPC = increase in consumption ,75/increase in income 100

= 75/100

= 3/4

Therefore the marginal propensity to consume also called the slope is 3/4
