MATLAB: How code lines that move apart

apartcodeequationlinemove

How would I be able to have 2 lines moving apart at a given rate? For example, 2 lines (L1 and L2) both starting at (0,0) and then moving apart incrementally to L1=x=1, L2=x=-1; then L1=x=2 L2=x=-2 and so on.

Hi Conrad,
Is this what you are looking for?
x=[-2:0.1:2];
y=[-10 10];
x=repmat(x,[2 1]);
plot(x,y)
This code snippet gives the following figure:
In this case, I have considered only two points in the y-axis. If you need multiple points between your required limit (say -10 and 10), you can modify the code in the following manner:
y=[-10:0.1:10];  
x=[-2:0.1:2];
x=repmat(x,[length(y) 1]);
plot(x,y)
You'll basically get the same figure but will multiple data points in each straight line. I hope this helps.
