Explanation / Answer

The change from BC1 to BC2 shows the decrease in the price of the chickens and it shows the increase in the slope of the budget constraint.

This is because with the decrease in the price of chickens it is cheaper to buy more chicken, therefore consumer can purchase more of chickens.

The slope increase because the BC curve now becomes less flat.

The change from BC1 to BC3 shows the increase in the income and it shows that there is no change in the slope of budget constraint because budget constraint has shifted rightward parallelly.

The change from BC2 to BC3 shows the decrease in the price of the salad and it shows the decrease in the slope of the budget constraint.

This is because with the decrease in the price of salad it is cheaper to buy more salad, therefore consumer can purchase more of salad. The slope decrease because the BC curve now becomes flatter.
