How do I plot individual points on an existing graph

%Define Values
d = [ 0.25, 0.5 , 1 , 1.5 , 2 ];
m = 1;
k = 1;
omeganought = 1;
omega = linspace (0, 2);

%Creating a graph for all damping values
for k1 = 1:length(d)
FA(k1,:) = 1 ./ sqrt ( power(m,2)*power((power(omeganought,2)-power(omega,2)),2) + power(d(k1),2)*power(omega,2));
end

%Plotting points (omega_d, M(omega_d))

%plot graph
plot (omega, FA)

%Labels
xlabel ('Frequency');
ylabel ('Frequency response');
Title ('Frequency response curve')

So, My question is asking me to plot the points (omega_d, M(omega_d)). These points represent the maximum gain for each damping factor 'd'. I think it just wants me to put points on the Max of each curve and I'm not sure how to do so. Any help is appreciated.

Only three have definable peaks.

That said, this works:

%Define Values
d = [ 0.25, 0.5 , 1 , 1.5 , 2 ];
m = 1;
k = 1;
omeganought = 1;
omega = linspace (0, 2);

%graph
for k1 = 1:length(d)
    FA(k1,:) = 1 ./ sqrt ( power(m,2)*power((power(omeganought,2)-power(omega,2)),2) + power(d(k1),2)*power(omega,2));
    [Peak{k1},Omga{k1}] = findpeaks(FA(k1,:), omega);
end

%plot graph
figure(1)
plot (omega, FA)
hold on
plot([Omga{:}], [Peak{:}], '^r', 'MarkerFaceColor','r')
hold off

I am not certain how you want to handle the last two.

We're given what the graph is supposed to look like, and there's a dotted line going through the middle at omega = 1. It doesn't make much sense to me because it doesn't go through all of the peaks

[Star Strider]

You can plot a vertical line at omega=1 with:

%plot graph
figure(1)
plot (omega, FA)
hold on
plot([Omga{:}], [Peak{:}], '^r', 'MarkerFaceColor','r')
plot([1 1], ylim, '--')
hold off

Plotting a vertical line there is a mystery to me, too, especially since the peak of the first curve is at 0.990, not 1. (It’s the second plot call in the hold block.)
