What type of car will Ryan choose? 1. L- shaped 2. horizontal straight lines 3. vertical straight lines . Ryan's indifference curves are [ Select ] 4. downward sloping straight lines 5. downward sloping strictly convex curves . Ryan will choose a car with G = [ Select ] units of mileage and S = /2/3/4/5/6/8/10/12/0 [ Select ] units of styling. 1/2/3/4/5/6/8/10/12/0 (d) How will Brenda's and Ryan's choices change if car prices increase by $6,000 per unit of gas- mileage index (instead of $3,000)? 1/2/3/4/5/6/8/10/12/0 .
