How would you graph y=-1
Two points determine the graph of a line.
Let x=0, then y=-1 giving you point (0,-1)
Let x=4, then y=-1 giving you point (4,-1)
Plot these two points and draw a line through them.
You should get a horizontal line.

How would you graph x=4
Two points determine the graph of a line.
Let y=0, then x=4 giving you point (4,0)
Let y=3, then x=4 giving you point (4,3)
Plot these two points and draw a line through them.
You should get a vertical line.
