Why aren't my lines showing up on my graph?

hold on
IP = input('What is the initial pressure in the tank measured at 270K, in [atm]')
hold on
GT = input('the temperature of interest, in a range of 270 – 480K')

Specify a marker to show scalar values. For example, a circle:
plot (GT, IP, 'ro')
Or are you trying to plot a range of pressures over a range of temperatures, for each gas?

It's a range of values. The graph should depict 3 separate positive linear lines.

You only work with scalars. You cannot have lines unless you work with non-scalars.
