An individual consumer has a scale of preferences on the space of two goods, which could be represented by the marginal rate of substitution. We are interested in the representation of consumer’s preferences from the differentiable point of view. In this setting we consider the marginal rate of substitution to describe smooth preferences. The main goal is to provide a graphical method to design the indifference map. For this purpose, we use GeoGebra software for plotting the direction field for a first order ordinary differential equation (ODE). We then represent quasi-linear, separable, homothetic, Cobb-Douglas, and CES preferences. Our alternative approach to understand consumer behavior is connected with the formulation concerning the representability of preferences by utility functions.[br][br][b]Keyworks[/b] consumer behavior, preferences, marginal rate of substitution, ordinary differential equations, GeoGebra[br][br][b]References[/b][/justify][list][*]Allen, R.
