How to plot() with axes through the origin?

I have found these two references:

First reference: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/display-axis-lines-through-origin.html

This has the error:

While setting the 'XAxisLocation' property of Axes: 'origin' is not a valid value. Use one of these values: 'bottom' | 'top'. Error in plotafunction (line 39) ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin';

And I have tried this: http://blogs.mathworks.com/pick/2009/02/06/plotaxisatorigin/

and there exists no function titled: PlotAxisAtOrigin(x,y).

Can someone tell me simply how to plot a simple mathematical graph with the axes through the origin like that taught us in school?

MATLAB R2015a

thanks. r b-j

[Steven Lord]

The ability to specify the 'origin' value for the XAxisLocation and YAxisLocation properties of an axes was introduced in release R2015b.

Go to this link: http://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/10473-plotaxisatorigin and download the function PlotAxisAtOrigin. Read the documentation part in the code. It works fine.

Here is the code you need. Adjust your range as needed.

 hold on
 grid on
 x=linspace(-150,150) ;
 y=linspace(0,0) ;
 plot(x,y,'k-') ;
 plot(y,x,'k-') ;

Cheers!
