Plotting 2 functions on the same graph

I used this code to get a plot for Pos1 and Pos2. How can I modify it to make both curves appear on the same graph?

clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear;  % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 15;

fprintf('Beginning to run %s.m ...\n', mfilename);

legendStrings = cell(2, 1);
loopCounter = 1;
    
numElements = 1980; % HDTV resolution
    
p1 = subplot(2, 1, 1);
% Construct t
t = linspace(-10, 10 , numElements);
% Get x1
x1 = Pos1(t);
plot(t, x1, '-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
hold on;
title('Mass 1')
xlabel('t');
ylabel('x')
drawnow;

p2 = subplot(2, 1, 2);
% Construct t
t = linspace(-10, 10 , numElements);
% Get x2
x2 = Pos2(t);
plot(t, x2, '-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
hold on;
title('Mass 2')
xlabel('t');
ylabel('x')
drawnow;

legend(p1, legendStrings, 'Location', 'north');
legend(p2, legendStrings, 'Location', 'north');
    
function y = Pos1(t)
b11=-0.0553851;
b21=1; 
c1=-0.0553686;
c2=0;
c3=-.996933;
c4=0;
w1=sqrt(-(-2.00554));
w2=sqrt(-(-0.194461));
y=c1*b11*cos(w1*t)+c2*b11*sin(w1*t)+c3*b21*cos(w2*t)+c4*b21*sin(w2*t);
end

function y = Pos2(t)
b12=18.0554;
b22=1;
c1=-0.0553686;
c2=0;
c3=-.996933;
c4=0;
w1=sqrt(-(-2.00554));
w2=sqrt(-(-0.194461));
y=c1.*b12.*cos(w1.*t)+c2.*b12.*sin(w1.*t)+c3.*b22.*cos(w2.*t)+c4.*b22.*sin(w2.*t);
end

Skip the calls to subplot? That would make your scrip "not put the graphs in 2 separate axes":

x1 = Pos1(t);
x2 = Pos2(t);
ph1 = plot(t, x1, '-', 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
hold on;
ph2 = plot(t, x2, '-', 'LineWidth', 2);
xlabel('t');
ylabel('x')
legend([ph1,ph2],'Mass1','Mass2')
drawnow;

Use a single call to plotyy? Use the double-axis capability available through yyaxis. Check the help and documentation to those functions.
