Question
  1. Draw a graph of Tarik’s budget line (bread on the y axis).

 

Identify the intercept:

 

Bread intercepts: Set S=0 in the budget constraint equation:

               So, the bread intercept is (0,40).

               Sausage intercept: Set B=0 in the budget constraint equation:

            So, the sausage intercept is (35, 0).

 

              Plot the Points:

  Plot the point (0, 40) on the y-axis.

  Plot the point (35, 0) on the x-axis.
