You want to create a plot where the x-axis ranges from 0 to 10, the y-axis from -5 to 5, and the aspect ratio is equal so circles appear round. Which sequence of commands achieves this?

MATLAB - 2D Plotting

Aplot(data); axis([0 10 -5 5]); axis equal;

Bplot(data); xlim([0 10]); ylim([-5 5]); axis tight;

Cplot(data); axis equal; axis([0 10 -5 5]);

Dplot(data); axis([0 10 -5 5]); axis auto;

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Set axis limits correctly
Using axis([0 10 -5 5]) sets x and y limits as required.
Step 2: Set aspect ratio
axis equal ensures equal scaling so circles appear round.
Step 3: Confirm order
Setting limits before aspect ratio is standard and works correctly.
Final Answer:
plot(data); axis([0 10 -5 5]); axis equal; -> Option A
Quick Check:
Set limits then axis equal for correct aspect [OK]

Quick Trick: Set axis limits then axis equal for correct scaling [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Using axis tight instead of axis equal
Setting axis equal before limits
Using axis auto resets limits
