In the figure, the x axis for the first subplot has only 3 elements. How can I set this feature for all the other subplots? For each one will only have 3 ticks insted of variate x axis elements. Thank you

You can change the axis labels in each subplot individually:
x = linspace(2, 3);
y = sin(2*pi*(x-2)).^2;
figure(1)
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(x, y) % Default Axis Tick Labels
title('Subplot 1')
sp2 = subplot(2,1,2);
plot(x, y)
xt = get(sp2, 'XTick'); % Current 'XTick' Values For Subplot #2
xtn = linspace(min(xt), max(xt), 3); % Define New 'XTick' Values for Subplot #2
set(sp2, 'XTick', xtn) % Set New 'XTick' Values for Subplot #2
title('Subplot 2')
