A vertical line in the xy coordinate plane would represent the line of an equation such as x = 1 or x = -4.

True.
To find the x-coordinate of a point on the xy-plane, you look at the horizontal distance of the point from the y-axis. The y-coordinate of a point on the xy-plane is the vertical distance of the point from the x-axis.
If Y = 0 then there is no value of X such that XY = 1.
It would depend upon your coordinate system. But in the regular Cartesian (rectangular) coordinate system you used in high school, the x axis is left to right and the y axis is up and down. So the vertical plane would be the xy plane. If you are in three dimensions, the x axis is forward and backwards (coming out of the page toward and away from you), the y axis is left and right, and the z axis is up and down. So you would have two vertical planes--the xz plane and the yz plane.
