Help plotting a circular orbit

Hi so basically i would like to be able to produce a circular graph of sattelite position around earth. The code attached below starts with acceleration and use Eulers method to integrate once for velocity and again for displacement. The code works and produces results i am just unsure how to convert the outputs into a circular graph that updates displacement around earth as a result of the calculated velocity.

Code:

clear all

clc

G = 6.6743*10^-11; %Gravitational Constant, Units: m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

Mc = 5.972*10^24; %Mass of central body (earth), Units: kg

rE = 6371; %Radius of earth, Units: Km

height = 4000 %Altitude of sattelites orbit, Units: km

r = height + rE; %Radius of circular orbits, Units: km

mu = 3.986004418*10^5; %Earths Gravitational parameter, Units: km^3s^-2

x_initial = 0;

v_initial = 12000; %km/h

dt = 0.1;

t_vector = 0:dt:100000;

x(1) = x_initial;

v(1) = v_initial;

%%Math working out

%Fx = -G*x*(Mc/r^3);

%a = Fx/Mc

%a = (-G*x)/r^3

%a = -5.9833e-23*x m/s^2

%v(t) = 12000 + a*t

%y(t) = r + 12000t + 0.5a*t^2

x_initial = 0;

v_initial = 12000;

x(1)=x_initial;

v(1)=v_initial;

for i=1:length(t_vector)-1

a = -G/r^3;

v(i+1) = v(i) + a*dt;

xslope = v(i);

x(i+1) = x(i)+xslope*dt;

end

You need to track x and y separately.

This is amazing thank you so much
