I have an imported SVG graph in Illustrator CC like the one below. I want to color the area under the curve (the area under the curve that the red arrow is pointing to). I tried drawing new paths and so on and it's been a mess. Can anyone shed some light on how could this be done in the most efficient way? Thanks a lot in advance.

Quick and dirty:
be sure that the line in your graph is ungrouped from all other elements;
draw a rectangle that has its lower left corner in your origin and extends above the graph line, but just short of extends to the right of it;
arrange the rectangle behind your graph line;
copy the graph line: Ctrl / Cmd + C or Edit > Copy;
paste in front: Ctrl / Cmd + F or Edit > Paste in Front;
select both the front copy of the graph line and the rectangle;
select the Shape builder tool Shift + M;
click the area below the line, and Alt-click the area above the line and the line itself;
colour your area to taste.
