Answer

$y=0$

Work Step by Step

If we are searching for the equation of the $x$-axis, we have to note, that it is a horizontal line. Therefore the equation will be of the form of $y=a$, where $a$ is a constant. The $x$-axis passes by every point that has a $y$-coordinate of $0$. Hence, the equation of the $x$-axis is: $y=0$.
