**Question on Perpendicular Lines**

Which equation represents a line which is perpendicular to \(x = 0\)?

**Answer Choices:**

- \( \large \circ \quad y = x - 3 \)
- \( \large \circ \quad x = -4y \)
- \( \large \circ \quad x = 5 \)
- \( \large \circ \quad y = -6 \)

**Answer Submission Area:**
- [Submit Answer] Button

**Notes:**
- Vertical lines like \(x = 0\) (which corresponds to the y-axis) are perpendicular to horizontal lines (equations of the form \(y = c\), where \(c\) is a constant such as \(y = -6\)).
- Perpendicularity between vertical and horizontal lines holds as one has an undefined slope and the other has a zero slope.

In this question, you need to identify the horizontal line equation, which will be perpendicular to the vertical line \(x = 0\).
