y = 2 is just a horizontal line at y = 2

 

y = -1/2 x    pick two x values - I'll pick 0 and 2

So, when x = 0 , y = 0

And when x = 2, y = -1

So we have the points (0, 0) and (2, -1)......draw a line through both and there's your graph

 

x - y = 4

This is similar to the last one ...  when  x = 0, y = -4 and  when y = 0, x = 4.

So the points  (0, -4) and ( 4, 0).......draw a line between the two and there's your graph.
