The function to plot them is plot3.
Try this:
startPts = rand(5,3)*10; % Columns: [x(:) y(:) z(:)]
endPts = rand(5,3)*10+50; % Columns: [x(:) y(:) z(:)]
figure
plot3([startPts(:,1) endPts(:,1)]', [startPts(:,2) endPts(:,2)]', [startPts(:,3) endPts(:,3)]')
grid
view(-60,30)
That is simply a demonstration.
