Iso-utility curve is another name for ______ curve.
indifference
An indifference curve shows all combinations of two goods that give a consumer the same level of satisfaction (utility), so the consumer is indifferent among them.
Because utility is equal ("iso" means equal) at every point on the curve, it is also called an iso-utility curve or equal-satisfaction curve. It is downward sloping and convex to the origin because of the diminishing marginal rate of substitution.
A demand curve relates price to quantity demanded, a supply curve relates price to quantity supplied, and the Phillips curve relates inflation to unemployment; none of them is defined by equal utility.
Hence, the answer is indifference.
