Plot

Matplotlib has provided a method called plot from pyplot. This method requires two arguments, which are the collection of x-points and y-points respectively. Let me show you how to use it.

First of all, you have to import the required packages

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

Next, create two arrays that define the points in the x and y coordinates

xpoints = np.array([0, 6])
ypoints = np.array([0, 255])

I have defined two points from the above code: (0, 0) and (6, 255).
Then, plot xpoints and ypoints into the Matplotlib

plt.plot(xpoints, ypoints)
plt.show()

The above code will show the following output
