all wires should be color coded, that is black-hot, white-neutral, green-ground. national electrical code been in use since the dark ages. if the wires are not colored, take a continuity tester, test from the cord cap to each wire on the opposite end of the cord. the larger straight prong on the cord cap is the neutral, mark it with white tape, the smaller straight prong [parallel to the larger prong] is the hot, mark it black. the " u "shaped prong is the ground wire, the mosat important of the 3. mark it green. on the continuity tester, the light on the tester will light when you touch the correct prong to the correct wire

In a typical electrical cord, the black wire is usually the hot (positive) wire and the white wire is the neutral (negative) wire. If your cord also has a green wire, that is the ground wire. It's important to double check with a voltage tester or consult the manufacturer's instructions for your specific garbage disposal model to be sure of the correct wiring.

Does the slope of an indifference curve change?

Yes, usually, because both goods are desirable, so you would be equally happy (for example) with 5 puppies and 2 cats as you would be 2 puppies and 5 cats. If you connect these points, you will create a negatively sloped line. There are instances where the slope is positive because one of the options involved is undesirable. For example, if I have puppies and garbage. Now, I want more puppies, but less garbage. So, I may be equally happy with 2 puppies and 2 piles of garbage as I would be with 5 puppies and 5 piles of garbage. This is because the benefit of having more puppies is offset by the negative of having more garbage. This creates a positively sloped line. There are also instances where there is 0 slope or infinite slope if the quantity of a good is irrelevant to your enjoyment of it, like air. You would be happier with more puppies, but you would not be happier with more air. You would also not be less happy with more air. The amount of air is irrelevant to your happiness. This would be a zero slope line.
