plotting, no graph appears

I am trying to plot an equation however once i run the code, the graph that appears is empty... any idea on the error behind this?

x = 0:0.01:1;
y = (0.5*(1-x))/(5-x);
plot(x,y)

Because you forgot the 'dot' when dividing corresponding elements in the x vector.

x = 0:0.01:1;
y = (0.5*(1-x))./(5-x);
plot(x,y)

You can see this example clearly:

x = 1:10
data = [x' x'.^2]

data =

1 1

2 4

3 9

4 16

5 25

6 36

7 49

8 64

9 81

10 100
