    Just the answer please, no need to show the work. Suppose there are two goods, the prices of both goods are positive and a consumer's income is also positive. If the consumer's income doubles and the price of both goods triple, the consumer's budget line gets steeper and shifts inward. the slope of the consumer's budget line does not change but the budget line shifts outward away from the origin. the slope of the consumer's budget line does not change...

    Suppose Cole buys food (X) and clothing (Y) with his income of $500 per month. The prices that Cole faces in month one are $2 per unit of food and $4 per unit of clothing. His utility-maximizing choice is 100 food units and 75 clothing units. His preferences are convex. Now assume that in month two, Cole's income increases by 11% to $555, the price of food increases by 5% to $2.10, and the price of clothing increases by 15%...
