If a=bx, where x is a real constant and b can take literally any value, can a always take literally any value?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Draw the graph (for x != 0) and tell us what you think.
 
OK fine, that's a trivial case. a=0 if x=0 regardless of b. For all x where x is not equal to 0?

Yes, as long as x is not 0.
