Answer:

y = - 10

Explanation:

A line perpendicular to the y- axis is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

The equation of a horizontal line is

y = c

where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (4, - 10) with y- coordinate of - 10, thus

y = - 10 ← is the equation of the line
