An advantage of Ariel's approach is that one can format the _margin variable
before plotting.
******************
sysuse auto,clear
qui reg price mpg
qui margins , at(mpg=(5(5)50))
marginsplot, plotopts(mlabel(_margin))
serset use
format _margin %6.0fc
twoway connected _margin __000000, mlabel(_margin, )

Slightly simpler (but needing a bit of tidying up) is:
sysuse auto,clear
reg price mpg
margins , at(mpg=(5(5)50))
marginsplot, plotopts(mlabel(_margin))
