Long description for Figure 2.6: Graph A: The x-axis is labelled, diesel-engine automobiles, and the y-axis is labelled, hybrid-engine automobiles.2 convex curves are shown.The first curve begins slightly above the half-way point of the y-axis and ends near the end of the x-axis.The curve passes through point E about 1 third of the way along the curve.The second curve begins slightly above the first, on the y-axis.It finishes at the exact same point on the x-axis.The second curve passes through point F about 1 third of the way along the curve.Graph B: The x-axis is labelled, diesel-engine automobiles, and the y-axis is labelled hybrid-engine automobiles.2 convex curves are shown.The first curve begins slightly above the half-way mark on the y-axis and finishes about 2 thirds of the way along the x-axis.The curve passes through the point G, about halfway along the curve.The second curve begins slightly above the first on the y-axis, and finishes just past the end of the first on the x-axis.The curve passes through point J about 1 third of the way along the curve, and point H about 3 fourths of the way along the curve.Graph C: The x-axis is labelled, diesel-engine automobiles, and the y-axis is labelled hybrid-engine automobiles.A convex curve begins near the top of the y-axis and finishes near the end of the x-axis.It passes through point K about half-way along the curve.Point L is plotted between the curve and the axes.
-Refer to Figure 2.6.In response to changing regulations and enforcement, Toyota has cut back on the production of diesel-powered vehicles and increased its hybrid production.This strategy is best represented by the
A)movement from F to E in Graph A.
