As reported in the issue which this closes #29606 , the docstring for the argument x of axvline says that it sets y, but really it sets x. Perhaps this was a copy'n'paste error from axhline? Where the first argument is y which does set y.

This commit simply emends the doc from y to x to reflect the behaviour.
