Art students know there's a point at infinity.

'at' and 'point' mean essentially the same thing.
But it is, of course, wrong to assign a point to infinity, because infinity is not a point and it is impossible to be there (hence there is no 'at').

A whole line at infinity of them, even,

 One idea about the quadrant is to shrink it to a box,

It is also impossible to shrink infinity in any way, because infinity will remain infinitely large, even after significant shrinking.

given that the ray from origin (in a Cartesian space)
in x = y is an "identity dimension" and rather "original"
itself, then that the hyperbola, xy = 1 andx = 1/y and y = 1/x,
its corner, is parameterized to go out the identity line
and result in the limit connecting (0, \infty) and (\infty, 0).

inf = 1/0
hence
inf * 0 =1
hence
0/inf = 1/inf²
;-)
but infinity is also not a number!
