I keep getting the error: Error in Assignment7_1 (line 11) hyp2 = minimize(hyp, @gp, -100, @infGaussLik, meanfunc, covfunc, likfunc, x, y); when I run a code.

%GP example
meanfunc = [];                             % empty: don't use a mean function
covfunc = {@covSum,{@covLIN,@covConst}};   % Linear covariance function
likfunc = @likGauss;                       % Gaussian likelihood
hyp = struct('mean', [],'cov', 0, 'lik', -1);
N=50;
x=rand(N,1);
y=0.5*x+0.5+0.1*randn(size(x));
hyp2 = minimize(hyp, @gp, -100, @infGaussLik, meanfunc, covfunc, likfunc, x, y);

Check for incorrect argument data type or missing argument in call to function 'minimize'.

xs=(0:0.1:1)';
[mu, s2] = gp(hyp2, @infGaussLik, meanfunc, covfunc, likfunc, x, y, xs);

Please any help with the solution to this error will be appreciated. Thanks

The last line calling minimize, which function do you want to call? Are you calling one of the built-in functions or a custom function you wrote? There seems like confusion there.
