Legends

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

If you want to draw many lines then you could use a for loop combined with plt.plot. You can add a legend by adding a label to each plot and by calling plt.legend() afterwards.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pylab as plt

x = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)
for i in [1, 2, 3]:
    y = x ** i
    plt.plot(x, y, label=f"power={i}")
plt.legend();

Again, note the semi-colon at the end here.
