added short description about point 3
May 4, 2015 at 11:20 comment added Scortchi (+1) Concise & clear explanation. @user1205901: It might help you to rewrite the equation explicitly for each allowable combination of dummies to see the intercept & slopes for each level of the categorical variable. (Note that e.g. the second category is defined in full by $x_2=1$, $x_3=0$.)
