Matplotlib doesn't support Python 3.10 at the moment, so you have the following options.

1. Downgrade to Python 3.10
2. Install the pre-release version of Matplotlib which does support Python 3.10. This can be done with the command pip install matplotlib==3.5.0rc1 (this is what I would recommend doing)
