Correct Answer: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).


Solution : The budget line is also known as the pricing line, price opportunity line, and consumption possibility curve.
The price ratio between good 1 and excellent 2 determines the budget line's slope. This would be the x-axis price of the good divided by the y-axis price of the good. A budget line's slope is always negative because it slopes downward.
Hence option a is the correct answer.
