Answer:

The correct answer is: maximized; reducing; increasing.

Using the midpoint method, Blake's income elasticity of demand for generic potato chips is given by the change in demand (D) multiplied by his average income (I), divided by the change in income multiplied by the average demand:

E=\frac{\Delta D}{\Delta I}*\frac{I_{avg}}{D_avg}\\E=\frac{0-2}{15-9}*\frac{\frac{9+15}{2}}{\frac{2+0}{2} }\\E=-4\ units
