Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, as an individual consumes more of a good, the marginal utility derived from each additional unit decreases. This means that the individual is willing to give up less and less of the good on the horizontal axis (as reflected in the quantity of the good on the vertical axis) as they move rightward along the indifference curve, leading to a diminishing marginal rate of substitution.
