Answer to Question 1

As the price of a good changes the consumer's budget constraint changes. Thus, it is possible to see how the consumer changes his utility-maximizing choice. This will give us his new quantity demanded at each price.

Answer to Question 2

The indifference curves would be L-shaped. The reasoning is that one good must be accompanied by the other good in order to give the first any utility. Having more of the second good however, doesn't make the person any better off.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
