Matlab strikes again with stupidity
Been using matlab for years and still fighting ridiculous problems
x = [1:.5:10]
y = x.*4;
Z = 4
plot(x,y,'blue'); hold on
plot (x,Z,'red')
Why won't this give me a simple plot with both functions on it. Totally insane. It gives me the x*4 plot but will not give me the constant 4

x = 0:0.001:1;
c=5;
const = @(x)(c).*x.^(0);
plot(x, const(x))

Note: const = @(x)(c); doesn't work

Sometime in your years of using MATLAB you probably ran across ones() function but forgot about it. You need to use it so that, for each value of x, you have a value for Z. Here is the correct way to do it.
x = [1 : 0.5 : 10]
y = x .* 4
% Now declare a constant array Z
% with one element for each element of x.
Z = 4 * ones(1, length(x));
plot(x, y, 'b', 'LineWidth', 2);
hold on
plot(x, Z, 'r', 'LineWidth', 2)
grid on;
Otherwise, your Z had only 1 element, not 1 for every value of x so it won't plot a point at every value of x.

x = [1:.5:10];
y = x.*4;
Z = 4;
plot(x,y,'blue'); hold on
%plot (x,Z,'red')
yline(Z,'red')

x =1:.5:10;
y = x.*4;
Z = 4;
m=5:.5:14;
n=m-x;
plot(x,y,'blue');
hold on
plot (x,n,'red');
hold off;

Hi @Robert
Before I discovered other special non-math functions like ones() and yline(), I used to rely on certain math tricks, such as the sign function, to plot a constant y-value over a specified x range. The concept was to treat plotting
as if it were any other vector in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. However, this trick had a fatal flaw when attempting to plot the constant y-value over
, as
. Therefore, it was necessary to adjust or shift the 'goalpost' to overcome this limitation.

Example 1: Using the sign function
x = 1:0.5:10;
y1 = 4*x;
y2 = 4*sign(x.^2);
figure(1)
plot(x, y1, 'linewidth', 2), hold on
plot(x, y2, 'linewidth', 2), grid on
xlim([x(1), x(end)])
xlabel x, ylabel y

![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1633376/image.png)
x = -2:0.5:2;
y1 = 4*x;
y2 = 4*sign((x - 0).^2);
figure(2)
plot(x, y1, 'linewidth', 2), hold on
plot(x, y2, 'linewidth', 2), grid on
xlim([x(1), x(end)])
xlabel x, ylabel y

Example 3: Shifting the goalpost
x = -2:0.5:2;
y1 = 4*x;
y2 = 4*sign((x - 2*x(1)).^2);
figure(3)
plot(x, y1, 'linewidth', 2), hold on
plot(x, y2, 'linewidth', 2), grid on
xlim([x(1), x(end)])
xlabel x, ylabel y
title('Example 3: Shifting the goalpost')
legend('y_{1}', 'y_{2}', 'fontsize', 16, 'location', 'best')
