Budget Constraint

Quick fact

The budget constraint is a straight line because prices are constant, not because preferences are; it simply shows what is financially possible, not what is desirable.

Why this is interesting

You have $20 in your pocket. A burger costs $5 and a movie ticket costs $10. How many of each can you buy? That question is answered by your budget constraint.
