well looking at the graph...

if unicycles are $120 and monkeys $90

look at the intercepts of the axes

Vertical axis - unicycles... he can purchase a max of 6- thats the intercept

then if he purchases 6 unicycles and no monkeys he spends $720 in total

Horizontal  

he can purchase 8 monkeys.... so again is budget is $720.... 

anywhere along the line you will have a combination of cycles and monkeys with 
a total cost of $720. 

if the unicycle cost increases to $180 

then he can purchase 

number of unicycles = 720/180 

or the total budget divided by the new cost.... 

so you would need to draw a line from new number of unicycles to 8 monkeys.... 
as the price of monkeys doesn't change. 

anywhere along the line will be the combination of unicycles an monkeys her can purchase.... 

hope it helps
