Solution

The slope of the budget constraint is calculated as the ratio of the prices of the two goods. In this case, the price of a movie ticket is 20andthepriceofarestaurantmealis20 and the price of a restaurant meal is 25.

The slope of the budget constraint is therefore -Price of Good 1 / Price of Good 2.

So, the slope of the budget constraint in this case is -20/25 = -4/5.

Therefore, the correct answer is -4/5.
