The graph will look like this:

It is actually a simple problem.
Since $x$ is being multiplied by $sinpi$ , we will have a straight line.

So let's see what $sinpi$ is.
You can use your unit circle definition to find out that $sinpi=0$ .

This means that for any given value of $x$ , $y=0$ . Therefore, we have a line with a slope of $0$ that goes across the x-axis.
