Plotting Economics Equations

I am relatively new to Maple, I use the Plot Builders for instance for my plots.
Can anyone tell me how to plot the Budget Constraint;
Income = P1*X + P2*Y
I want to do Comparitive Statics on this equation. Say, for instance change in slope when one of the prices changes.

Please render me a solution.

Thanks You,
Siddharth

You are probably better off posting questions like this on one of the forums, for example the "How do I...with Maple" forum.

In this case is 'Income' a function both of X and Y, you will need plot3d to plot the function.

Since previous poster was

Since previous poster was not familier with
Economics, and you did not explain the
context, he thought you wanted to plot
Income as a function of X and Y. Of course,
what you want is Y as a function of X with
Income, P1, and P2 given numerical values,
in other words a budget constraint.
Essentially what you have is a very simple
implicit function.

You can do this with the following simple
code where you replace the ?'s with
numbers:

Income:= ?; P1:=?; P2:= ?;
plot((Income-P1*X)/P2,X=0..Income/P1);
