Suppose $ h : =z\mapsto \dfrac{az+b}{cz+d} $ is an homography of the complex plane preserving a vertical line.
What is the general form of $ h $? Is $ c $ necessarily equal to $ 0 $?

Presumably by "complex plane" you really mean the Riemann sphere, and "vertical line" includes the point at $\infty$. Then besides a suitable linear function, you could take an inversion about a point on the line.
