Shape of Isoquants The curvature of an isoquant shows how readily a firm can substitute one input for another. If the inputs are perfect substitutes, each isoquant is a straight line. The linear production function is q = x + y ? 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley.

Such a production function is called a fixed-proportions production function. The fixed-proportions production function is given by: q =
