I am trying to use the following code to show a legend but my aim is not to show 5 line legend and instead i want the 3rd legend be used for the rest of plots.
How to do that? All the plots after legend 3 need to have the same legend (legend-3).

legend("legend-1","legend-2","legend-3","legend-3","legend-3")

"Starting in R2021a, you can leave an item out of a legend by setting the corresponding label to an empty character vector."
See also my response in the same Question about IconDisplayStyle -- which is more work than being selective about which items you include when pass a list of handles to legend()
Note: at the time you plot() you can pass a DisplayName that controls what the legend entry will be if not overwritten in a call to legend(). If you set that DisplayName to empty starting R2021a then the item would be omitted from the legend.
