Income
A proportional tax takes the same percentage of income no matter your income level. A progressive tax, on the other hand, takes a larger percentage of income as your income increases. An example of a proportional tax is the Medicare tax (everyone pays 1.45% of all income), while the U.S. income tax is an example of a progressive tax (higher incomes get bumped into higher tax brackets). Many people believe sales taxes to be proportional because everyone pays the same rate, but because sales taxes only apply to spending rather than overall income they almost always turn out to be regressive.

all the points at which consumption and income are equal
The slope of the consumption schedule, or line, in an economy represents the marginal propensity to consume (MPC), which measures the change in consumption resulting from a change in income. A steeper slope indicates a higher MPC, meaning consumers are likely to spend a larger portion of any additional income, while a flatter slope suggests a lower MPC, with consumers saving more of their additional income. This slope is crucial for understanding how changes in income levels affect overall consumption and economic activity.
The income that is not used for consumption is called disposable income

Its a line lol A guideline used in Keynesian economics in conjunction with the consumption line (to derive saving) and the aggregate expenditures line (to identify Keynesian equilibrium). This guideline forms a 45-degree angle with both the horizontal income axis and the vertical consumption expenditure (or aggregate expenditures) axis in the Keynesian graphical analysis.
The definition of a Normal Good is: a good that will increase in consumption as income increases and decrease in consumption as income decreases.
Consumption and income are typically directly related, meaning that as income increases, consumption tends to increase as well. This relationship is known as the marginal propensity to consume, which looks at how changes in income impact changes in consumption.
Market Consumption Capacity is basically the income of the middle class. (The percentage share of the middle class in consumption/income)
They are positively, or directly related. An increase in income is associated with an increase in income; a decrease in consumption accompanies a decrease in income.
If you consume all your income at every level of income, your consumption function is a straight line at a 45-degree angle from the origin, indicating that consumption equals income (C = Y). In this scenario, your Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is 1, since any additional income is entirely consumed. Consequently, your Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) is 0, as there is no saving occurring at any income level. The saving function would be a horizontal line at zero, reflecting that savings do not increase regardless of income.
