$-$ sign signifies an inverse graph of tangent graph

2 signifies the graph amplitude or the $y$ values are of two times larger than a normal tangent graph

$4theta$ signifies 4 repeats of the normal tangent graph in a $2pi$ or 360degrees cycle

In your case, you need to plot 2 cycle of y.
Since 4 cycle in 2 $pi$
1 complete cycle in $2pi/4=pi/2$

divide $pi/2$ into four parts for each of the four parts of graph which starts at 0.
