I can't explain why, but when you look at the InputForm of the
resulting graph, it shows that it has the option AxesOrigin->[0,0.2}
which gives an horizontal line and a vertical line.
You can solve this by explicitely using AxesOrigin->{-10,0.} to have
no vertical and horizontal lines.
Somebody may comment on how AxesOrigin is determined by default? In
the documentation, we only have:
"AxesOrigin->Automatic uses an internal algorithm to determine where
the axes should cross. If the point {0,0} is within, or close to, the
plotting region, then it is usually chosen as the axes origin. "
