Hi Sinan,

Knowing neither what you got nor what you expected, I still hope that 
the following lines will be helpful:

In[1]:=
Clear[f]
f[x] = x/x

Out[2]=
1

In[3]:=
(* Error messages and empty graph *)
Plot[f[x], {x, -2, 2}];

In[5]:=
(* A straight line *)
Plot[1, {x, -2, 2}];

In[7]:=
Clear[f]
f[x_] = 1
(* A straight line *)
Plot[f[x], {x, -2, 2}];

Out[8]=
1

In[11]:=
Clear[f]
f[x_] := 1
(* A straight line *)
Plot[f[x], {x, -2, 2}];

In[15]:=
Clear[f]
f[x_] := x/x
(* A jagged line *)
Plot[f[x], {x, -2, 2}];
(* A less jagged line *)
Plot[f[x], {x, -2, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50];
(* A straight line *)
Plot[Evaluate[f[x]], {x, -2, 2}];

Best regards,
Jean-Marc
