Question 75310: line passes through (0,-6) and is perpendicular to the x-axis. What is the solution?

The line would be the y-axis. Why?
Because any line that is perpendicular to the x-axis has to be parallel to the y-axis. This line passes through the point (0, -6) which is right on the y-axis, ergo, it's the y-axis itself.
Does this make sense?
