The command you gave is working correctly. To get more than one line you should 
place the data in separate columns (implies different lines), or explicitly 
plot them as different lines.

The implicit approach is ...

        plot ([34 40; 34 40], [0 0; 35 35], "y")

The explicit version is ...

        plot ([34 34], [0 35], "y", [40 40], [0 35], "y")
