The points to keep in mind here are:
(1) It is possible for y to have any value
(2) the x-value of any point on the line
never changes
------------------------------------
The line goes through ( 1.3 ), but an important point is
that it also goes through ( 1, y ) where y can
be any number. The only equation that can
satisfy all the conditions is:
+x+=+1+
