# --description--

Given that the `skewX()` function skews the selected element along the X-axis by a given degree, it is no surprise that the `skewY()` property skews an element along the Y (vertical) axis.

# --instructions--

Skew the element with the id of `top` -10 degrees along the Y-axis by using the `transform` property.

# --hints--

The element with id `top` should be skewed by -10 degrees along its Y-axis.

```js
assert(code.match(/#top\s*?{\s*?.*?\s*?transform:\s*?skewY\(-10deg\);/g));
```
