First off, let me say that you can find the answer to this question in Sage using the nauty generator. If you're going to be a serious graph theory student, Sage could be very helpful.
count = 0
for g in graphs.nauty_geng("20 180:180"):
count = count+1
print count
The answer is 4613. But, this isn't easy to see without a computer program.
At this point, perhaps it would be good to start by thinking in terms of of the number of connected graphs with at most 10 edges. Then, all the graphs you are looking for will be unions of these. You should be able to figure out these smaller cases. If any are too hard for you, these are more likely to be in some table somewhere, so you can look them up.
Connected graphs of order n and k edges is:
n = 1, k = 0: 1
n = 2, k = 1: 1
n = 3, k = 2: 1
n = 3, k = 3: 1
n = 4, k = 3: 2
n = 4, k = 4: 2
n = 4, k = 5: 1
n = 4, k = 6: 1
n = 5, k = 4: 3
n = 5, k = 5: 5
n = 5, k = 6: 5
n = 5, k = 7: 4
n = 5, k = 8: 2
n = 5, k = 9: 1
n = 5, k = 10: 1

.
n = 10, k = 9: 106
n = 10, k = 10: 657
n = 11, k = 10: 235
I used Sage for the last 3, I admit. But, I do know that the Atlas of Graphs contains all of these except for the last one, on P7.
There are $\binom{n}2=\frac12n(n-1)$ pairs of distinct points. If you do not allow loops or multiple edges, each of these pairs determines one possible edge, and you can have any subset of those possible edges. A set with $\binom{n}2$ members has $2^{\binom{n}2}$ subsets, so there are $2^{\binom{n}2}$ possible graphs without loops or multiple edges.
If you demand that the graphs be connected, the problem becomes very much harder. From your final comment I take it that you are in effect counting labelled graphs. This sequence of numbers is A001187 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. If $d_n$ is the number of labelled, connected, simple graphs on $n$ vertices, the numbers $d_n$ satisfy the recurrence
$$\sum_k\binom{n}kkd_k2^{\binom{n-k}2}=n2^\binom{n}2\;,$$
from which it’s possible to calculate $d_n$ for small values of $n$. This recurrence is derived as formula (3.10.2) in Herbert S. Wilf, generatingfunctionology, 2nd edition, which is available for free download here.
According to MathWorld, Brendan McKay’s software package nauty includes a routine that efficiently enumerates such graphs; it’s available here.
If you count unlabelled graphs instead, so that you don’t count isomorphic graphs separately, you get the sequence mentioned by Arturo in the comments.

In general for a graph with $n$ vertices, there are ${n \choose 2}$ possible edges. If you want a graph with $k$ edges, you simply choose $k$ edges from the pool of ${n \choose 2}$ possible edges.
Thus the number of labeled graphs having $n$ vertices and $k$ edges is $${{n \choose 2} \choose k}$$
In particular, for $n = 4$ and $k = 1$, you get $${{4 \choose 2} \choose 1} = {6 \choose 1} = 6$$ as you correctly found out.
