MHB Visual proof of if ∞=1/0, then 0=1/∞

[anemone]

A visual proof of the following statement:

If $\infty=\dfrac{1}{0}$, then $0=\dfrac{1}{\infty}$ .

Proof:

Assume $\infty=\dfrac{1}{0}$. Rotate each side of the equation counterclockwise $90^{\circ}$. We get 8 = −10. Subtract 8, getting 0 = −18. Then rotate both parts back: $0=\dfrac{1}{\infty}$. QED.

I think this proof answers the question: "What did you divide by this time??"
