STEP Support Programme

STEP support - Assignment 2 (foundation modules)

Can somebody give the final answer for question ii from the warmup section?

I've got an answer but it doesn't look quite like what I would've expected.

I think the answer is $y=0$, $x\neq 0$ i.e. $y$ has to be $0$ and $x$ can be anything except $0$!
