Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moving from point B to point C typically represents a movement along a curve or line on a graph. If the x-variable (representing Good X) increases, it means we are moving to the right along the horizontal axis. If the y-variable (representing Good Y) decreases, it means we are moving down along the vertical axis. Therefore, an increase in the x-variable by 2 units and a decrease in the y-variable by 15 units corresponds to moving from a lower to a higher quantity of Good X while moving to a lower quantity of Good Y, which matches the description of moving from point B to point C in many economic or mathematical graphs.
