Assume a firm is trying to produce q0 units of output at the lowest total cost. The wage decreases, rotating the isocost line as shown in the below graph. Make the necessary changes to the graph to show the input combination that will now produce q0 at the lowest total cost. Make sure you show the new levels of labor and capital.
