Ambrose has indifference curves with the equation x2 = constant - 4x1/21, where larger constants correspond to higher indifference curves.If good 1 is drawn on the horizontal axis and good 2 on the vertical axis, what is the slope of Ambrose's indifference curve when his consumption bundle is (16, 10)?

if we graph Mary Granola's indifference curves with avocados on the horizontal axis and grapefruits on the vertical axis, then whenever she has more grapefruits than avocados, the slope of her indifference curve is -2.Whenever she has more avocados than grapefruits, the slope is -1/2.Mary would be indifferent between a bundle with 21 avocados and 33 grapefruits and another bundle with 33 avocados and
