x = a number is always a vertical line, passing through the x-axis at that value of x

Explanation:

You could draw the graph by plotting points first. In this case, x is always 4, regardless of the y-value.

Possible points could be (4;-5), (4;-2), (4;0), (4;7) etc.

Plotting the points will give you a vertical line passing through the x-axis at 4.

Vertical lines only have an x-intercept. Note that the y-axis is also a vertical line, crossing the x-axis at 0. The equation of the y-axis is x = 0
