I am having a hard time thinking how to graph this and I was wondering if anyone can help me out?
Queens University has a theft problem. Bicycles and stereo equipment have been stolen from many campus locations.
To reduce the extent of the problem, the campus police have hired 5 new officers. The table below gives the expected number of thefts for different ways of assigning the 5 new officers.

New officer assigned to bicycle duty Reduction in bike thefts
1... 25
2... 45
3... 60
4... 70
5... 75




New officers assigned to residence patrol Reduction in theft of stero
1... 10
2... 18
3... 25
4... 31
5... 36

Plot the production possibilites curve for the theft reduction.

Is this suppose to be 1 graph with 1 line. I might be doing it wrong because my axis are reduction in theft of stereo and reduction in bike theft and I have a curve that is positive.
