Refer to Table 3-8. We could use the information in the table to draw a production possibilities frontier for England and a second production possibilities
frontier for Spain. If we were to do this, measuring bread along the horizontal axis, then
a. the slope of England's production possibilities frontier would be -2 and the slope of Spain's production possibilities frontier would be -5.
b. the slope of England's production possibilities frontier would be -.75 and the slope of Spain's production possibilities frontier would be -1.
c. the slope of England's production possibilities frontier would be -0.67 and the slope of Spain's production possibilities frontier would be-0.5.
O d. the slope of England's production possibilities frontier would be -1.5 and the slope of Spain's production possibilities frontier would be -2
