How can I add horizontal reference lines at 4 and 6 (y-axis) and shading below each reference line on the following plot?

Plot[i, {i, 1, 10}] 

Thank you!

Check out Plot for reference.

Use {} to define multiple functions to be plotted and Filling for the shading.

Plot[{i, 4, 6}, {i, 0, 10}, Filling -> {3 -> {2}, 2 -> Bottom}]

Here is a solution via Epilog and graphic primitive Rectangle[]

Plot[{i, 4, 6}, {i, 0, 10}, 
     Epilog -> {Opacity[0.3], Lighter@Red, Rectangle[{0, 0}, {10, 4}], 
                Lighter@Blue, Rectangle[{0, 4}, {10, 6}]}]
