Write a function named random_line that creates x and y data for a line with y direction random noise that has a normal distribution $N(0,\sigma^2)$:
Be careful about the sigma=0.0 case.

def random_line(m, b, sigma, size=10):
"""Create a line y = m*x + b + N(0,sigma**2) between x=[-1.0,1.0]
Parameters
----------
m : float
The slope of the line.
b : float
The y-intercept of the line.
sigma : float
The standard deviation of the y direction normal distribution noise.
size : int
The number of points to create for the line.
Returns
-------
x : array of floats
The array of x values for the line with `size` points.
y : array of floats
The array of y values for the lines with `size` points.
