how to plot graph for specific points

i have plot graph for the specific points from a row

i need to plot graph x v/s y between the points 3 - 8 only

Assuming that variables a, b, ... j make sense, you can do more or less like this:

x = [1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9];

y = [a b c d e f g h i j];

plot(x(3:8), y(3:8), 'o-'); % use 'o-', or whatever you like as drawing style

Thank you that works, i need another help

I have a coloumn of numbers i need them to dispaly only the specified numnbers

r160=readtable('R160t.txt');

z=r160{:,1};

R160.txt has numbers from 1- 900 but i need values from 20 to 500, how do i write that ?

You must first convert z to an array of double (not it is a cell-array). Then you can use the function find:

z = cellfun(@(x) double(x), z); % this converts z to double

ind = find(20 <= z & z <= 500); % z(ind) are the values you are looking for
