temp = y+k;
temp(temp < 0) = nan;
plot(x+k, temp);

Another option:
plot(x+k,y+k,'Color')
set(gca, 'YLim',[0 max(ylim)])

The solution posted in this Answer just cuts off the plot so nothing with a negative y is plotted. That was a valid interpretation when you originally asked the question, in the time before you indicated you wanted the negative values to change sign.

Your original Question simply wanted to eliminate the negative y-values. This plots y from 0 to whatever the maximum value of the y-axis limit is.
You have changed your Question, now saying that you want to change the negative values to positive. I would not recommend doing that because it distorts your data. If you are only supposed to have positive results from your calculations, you will need to find the error that produces the negative values, and correct it.
Also, did you see my Answer to your previous Question Elemination in for loop? Did it do what you want?
