4) A consumer’s utility function is u(x, y) = min{x, 3y} (a) Find the consumer’s optimal choice for x, y as functions of income I and prices px,py. (b) Sketch the demand curve for y as a function of other price px when py = 10, I = 100. Suggestion: a picture showing the budget set, optimal choice and indifference curve. (I need help with the sketching which is the second part)
