A rational number can always be represented as a fraction.
5.2 = 52/10 
5.5 = 55/10

A number between them would be 54/10 since 54 is between 52 and 55.

An irrational number cannot be represented as a fraction. A good example of an irrational number is the square root of a number.
sqrt(5.2^2) = 5.2  ----> 5.2^2 = 27.04
sqrt(5.5^2) = 5.5  ----> 5.5^2 = 30.25

The square root of a number between 27.04 and 30.25 will be an irrational number between 5.2 and 5.5
sqrt(28) = 5.2915...

Find an equation of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points.
julia-pushkina [17]

For this graph the equation is x= -3

Because in the coordinates you gave, all the x values are -3 telling me that the line is a straight vertical line passing through the -3 x-axis and has no y-intercept as it's a vertical line, not diagonal, so it's not passing through the y-axis. Plus because of this too this line has no gradient.
