To show a bar and line graph on the same plot in matplotlib, we can take the following steps −

Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
Make a two-dimensional, size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data.
Create a figure and a set of subplots.
Plot the bar and line with the dataframe obtained from Step 2.
To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True

df = pd.DataFrame(dict(data=[2, 4, 1, 5, 9, 6, 0, 7]))
fig, ax = plt.subplots()

df['data'].plot(kind='bar', color='red')
df['data'].plot(kind='line', marker='*', color='black', ms=10)

plt.show()
