What does the error code "Error using plot Non-numeric data is not supported in 'Line'" mean?

For some reason I do not know why I am getting the error message below. I have provided my code below as well. Can someone help me figure out what this means and how I can plot the function y?
Error using plot Non-numeric data is not supported in 'Line'
numerator=[10.469*10^3 -5.79264*10^8];
denominator=[1 2.10858*10^4 5.23949*10^7];
[r p k]=residue(numerator,denominator)
syms s
A=5.0218e+04/(s-(-1.8208e+04))+(-3.9749e+04)/(s-(-0.2878e+04))
B=simplify(A)
y=ilaplace(B)
%Plot ilaplace output result
t=0:0.000001:0.002;
plot(t,y)

Your y is a symbolic expression involving the symbolic variable t. When you assign a numeric value to a symbolic variable that was used previously, the expressions that used the symbolic variable do not pick up the new numeric value. You need to subs() the numeric values for the symbolic variable.
tn=0:0.000001:0.002;
yn = double( subs(y, t, tn)) ;
plot(tn, yn)
