Problem

A continuous function \(f\) has the following properties:

1. \(f\) is defined on the entire number line;

2. \(f\) at each point has a derivative (and thus the graph of f at each point has a unique tangent);

3. the graph of the function \(f\) does not contain points for which one of the coordinates is rational and the other is irrational.

Does it follow that the graph of \(f\) is a straight line?
