How to draw a line in a line chart in vega-lite?

I have a curve plotted from index

{
  "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v2.4.json",
    "title": {
    "text": "Receiver Operating Characteristics - Area Under Curve",
    "anchor": "middle",
    "fontSize": 16,
    "frame": "group",
    "offset": 4
  },
  "data": {
    "url" : {
        "%context%": true,
        "index": "roccurve_index2",
        "body": {
          "size":10000,
          "_source": ["lr_fpr", "lr_tpr"],
        }
      }  
      "format": {"property": "hits.hits"},
    },
  "mark": {
    "type": "line",
    "point": true
  },
  "encoding": {
    "x": {"field": "_source.lr_fpr", "type": "quantitative", "title":"False Positive Rate"},
    "y": {"field": "_source.lr_tpr", "type": "quantitative", "title":"True Positive Rate"}
  }
}

the plot looks like enter image description here

Now i need to draw a base line for base model between 0 and 1 like enter image description here

Is this possible, and make that as dashed line with legend showing names as Base Model, RF Model

Yes, it is possible using Layered Views.

I'll use the Line Chart example to modify and add another line that's also dashed. Original chart: https://vega.github.io/editor/#/examples/vega-lite/line

Here's the modified chart, I used explicit values for the straight line:

Layer Solution

When you use layered view, you can lay multiple lines in the same chart and same x and y axis

  "layer" : [
      {
         //mark #1
      },
      {
        //mark #2
      }
  ]

Dashed Line

Can be achieved using strokeDashproperty. See this example: Line chart with varying stroke dash
