Edmund loves lollipops and hates oatmeal. To induce him to eat enough oatmeal and to restrain him from eating too many lollipops, his mum pays him 10 pence for every quart of oatmeal that he eats. The only way that he can get lollipops is to buy them at the sweet shop, where lollipops cost 5 pence each. Besides what he earns from eating oatmeal, Edmund gets an allowance of 10 pence per week. If he consumes only oatmeal and lollipops, and if his consumption bundles are graphed with quarts of oatmeal on the horizontal axis and lollipops on the vertical axis, what is the value of the slope of edmund's budget constraint
