How can 1$1/VV$ be equal to 0$0$ in Boyle's Law?

In relation to ideal gases, Boyle's Law states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume under constant temperature. In other words,

$$ P \propto 1/V $$$$P \propto 1/V$$

Below is a graph that plots pressure, $P$, against inverse volume, $1/V$.

Graph of pressure against inverse volume at constant temperature

How can $1/V$ ever equal zero? How is this possible?

How can 1/V be equal to 0 in Boyle's Law?
