- Plotting the budget constraint is a fairly simple process. Each point on the budget line has to exhaust all $56 of José’s budget. The easiest way to find these points is to plot the intercepts and connect the dots. Each intercept represents a case where José spends all of his budget on either T-shirts or movies.

Graphically, we can represent this budget constraint as in figure 3.1. We call this the budget line: the line that indicates the possible bundles the consumer can buy when spending all their income.

We can apply the budget constraint equation to Alphonso's scenario: Budget = P 1 × Q 1 + P 2 × Q 2 $ 10 = $ 2 × Q burgers + $ 0.50 × Q bus tickets. Using a little algebra, let's turn this into the equation of a line: y = b + mx. If we plug in the variables from Alphonso's scenario, we get the following:
Feb 2, 2022 · Budget Constraint Graph. Step 1: Determine where the budget constraint touches each axis. It’s helpful to begin by determining where it touches the x- and y-axes. You can figure that out by deciding how much of each of the goods the consumer could purchase if they only spent their available income on that good.
