How to write x-ticks in latex.

How to write x-ticks in latex.

I tried with

xticklabels({'x_m','x_2'},'interpreter','latex')

But failed. Please suggest or modify the code so that I can get the desired xticklabels $x_m$ and $x_2$ at x=0.2,0.5 respectively in latex.

plot([.2 .2], [0 .35],'--k')
 hold on
 plot([.5 .5], [0 .35],'--k')
  axis([0 1 0 .35]);
   xticks([.2 .5])
    xticklabels({'xm','x2'})
    xlabel('$x\rightarrow$','FontSize',20,'interpreter','latex','FontWeight','normal','Color','k')
ylabel('$y\rightarrow$','FontSize',20,'interpreter','latex','FontWeight','normal','Color','k')

Try this —

plot([.2 .2], [0 .35],'--k')
 hold on
 plot([.5 .5], [0 .35],'--k')
  axis([0 1 0 .35]);
   xticks([.2 .5])
Ax = gca;
Ax.XAxis.TickLabels = {'$x_m$','$x_2$'};                        % Changed
Ax.XAxis.TickLabelInterpreter = 'latex';                        % Added
    xlabel('$x\rightarrow$','FontSize',20,'interpreter','latex','FontWeight','normal','Color','k')
ylabel('$y\rightarrow$','FontSize',20,'interpreter','latex','FontWeight','normal','Color','k')
