8.2 Oxana is conducting research on the demand for cleaner air in Novosibersk. She notices that the Ministry of Housing built many identical dwellings around the city approximately the same distance from the center. The only difference is the average level of air pollution.

On a separate graph, plot the relationship between pollution levels (on the horizontal axis) and the marginal valuation of pollution implicit in the relationship between rents and pollution levels (on the vertical axis).
