Answer to Question 1

An indifference curve shows those combinations of goods for which a consumer is indifferent. The consumer has the same level of satisfaction for any combination on a given indifference curve. The family of indifference curves is the preference map. This map shows the person's preferences because it shows how the person ranks each combination of goods.
