Plotting points from two vectors onto the same graph

Hello,

I have three vectors defined as follows:

x<-c(10,20,30,40,50)
y1<-c(154,143,147,140,148)
y2<-c(178,178,171,188,180)

I would like to plot y1 vs x and y2 vs x on the same graph.  How might I do
this?  I have looked through a help file on plots but could not find the
answer to plotting multiple plots on the same graph.

Thank you for your help,
K

First, when posting a new query, please do not do so by replying to an
existing post. Your post is now listed in the archive linked to an
entirely different thread.

The easiest way to do this is to use the matplot() function:

x <- c(10,20,30,40,50)
y1 <- c(154,143,147,140,148)
y2 <- c(178,178,171,188,180)

# now do the plot. cbind() the two sets of y values
# and the x values with be cycled for each
matplot(x, cbind(y1, y2), col = c("red", "blue"))

See ?matplot for more information.
