# Question: the smith family has 1000 per month to spend on...

###### Question details

The Smith family has $1,000 per month to spend on food and other goods. (The two goods are food and dollars spent on all other goods. If you want, just assume that the prices of food and other goods are both$1.) Graph each budget constraint and write the equation. The units for the budget constraint will be dollars spent on food and dollars spent on all other goods. (Note: Some equations or lines may be defined piecewise/have multiple parts. Writing the equations may be trickier so be careful with the graphs first.)
