Suppose you have $10 to buy either onions or breath mints. Onions cost $0.50 each, and breath mints cost $1.00. On a graph, onions are on the y-axis and breath mints are on the x-axis. If the price of onions increases while the price of breath mints and your budget stay the same, what happens to the budget line?Multiple choice question.The vertical intercept shifts upward, farther from the origin.The vertical intercept shifts downward, closer to the origin.The horizontal intercept shifts inward, closer to the origin.The horizontal intercept shifts outward, farther from the origin.
