Here is the graph of function y=3
graph{3+x*0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Explanation:

Recall the definition of a graph of function y=f(x).
Its graph is a set of all points (x,y) on the coordinate plane that satisfy the equation y=f(x).

Obviously, all points (x,y) on the horizontal line crossing the Y-axis at coordinate 3 satisfy the equation y=3, regardless of its X-coordinate.

Any points (x,y) outside of this horizontal line has Y-coordinate not equal to 3 and, therefore, does not satisfy the equation y=3.

This proves that the described above horizontal line is the graph of function y=3.
