## Description
<section id='description'>
Given that the <code>skewX()</code> function skews the selected element along the X-axis by a given degree, it is no surprise that the <code>skewY()</code> property skews an element along the Y (vertical) axis.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Skew the element with the id of <code>top</code> -10 degrees along the Y-axis by using the <code>transform</code> property.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: The element with id <code>top</code> should be skewed by -10 degrees along its Y-axis.
    testString: assert(code.match(/#top\s*?{\s*?.*?\s*?transform:\s*?skewY\(-10deg\);/g));

```
