Since it refers to the set of points at which the coordinates are ( k , y ), for all values of y, the phrase "the line x = k" is the equation of a line which is vertical. The problem tells you what value ( 6 , 0 ) has after being reflected in that vertical line, and asks you to find out where the line must be.
