To complement @dazedANDconfused answer, which is correct, you can first notice that you do not need to write arrays if you only want to plot the function, you can simply do:

sage: m = 5
sage: r = 3
sage: w = 6
sage: f(t) = m*r*w^2*cos(t*pi/180)
sage: plot(f, t, 0, 360)

Second, you can use the Python zip function to avoid iterating among indexes 0...len(x_coords)-1 by hand:

sage: list_plot(zip(x_coords,y_coords))

The following also works:

sage: points(zip(x_coords,y_coords))

Second, if you want to deal with X and Y arrays (lists), you can use the Python zip function to avoid iterating among indexes 0...len(x_coords)-1 by hand:

sage: zip([1,2,3],[4,5,6])
[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]

So in your case, you can write the less verbose:

sage: list_plot(zip(x_coords,y_coords))

The following also works:

sage: points(zip(x_coords,y_coords))

Second, if you want to deal with X and Y arrays (lists), (they are named lists in Python), you can use the Python zip function to avoid iterating among indexes 0...len(x_coords)-1 by hand:

sage: zip([1,2,3],[4,5,6])
[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
