Alex distributes his monthly income of $600between two goods, movies and food. Byspending his entire income on movies, he canenjoy a maximum of 20 movies. On the otherhand, by spending his entire income on food hecan consume a total of 60 units of food. Assumethat food consumption is measured along thehorizontal axis and the consumption of movies ismeasured on the vertical axis. Calculate the slopeof Alex's budget line when the price of foodincreases to $20 while the price of movie remainsunchanged.-2/3- 1.5-2-3/4

here we calculate the budget line of Alex by using the given information and choose the correct , so…
