Theoretically, no real numbers cannot be graphed on the number line. The number line contains all real values. Practically, it is not really possible to exactly place an irrational number, as it is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal.

Friar LaurenceThe actual quote is: "A greater power than we can contradict Hath thwarted our intents."- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Chapter 5, Scene 3I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nestOf death, contagion, and unnatural sleep:A greater power than we can contradictHath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead;And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of theeAmong a sisterhood of holy nuns:Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;Come, go, good Juliet,
This line is from Macbeth in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." The character who speaks these words is Macbeth himself, reflecting on how an uncontrollable force has disrupted his plans and desires.

This line suggests that the interference and involvement of various characters ultimately led to Romeo and Juliet's tragic fate.

Intents and PurposesThe correct phrase is "to all intents and purposes." This phrase dates back to the 1500s and originated in English law, where it was "to all intents, constructions, and purposes." In modern usage, "for all intents and purposes" is also acceptable. The phrase means "for all practical purposes" and is generally used to compare two nonidentical acts or deeds, i.e.,"We've got a few odd things to finish, but to all intents and purposes the job is done." "They redesigned the old model and created something which was to all intents and purposes a brand new car." A shorter equivalent phrase is "in effect." When used in a strictly legal sense, the wording would be "intent and purposes," as it refers to one's mental attitude/state at the time said action occurred.A common malapropism is "for all intense and purposes" (also, "for all intensive purposes") a result of the original phrase being misheard and repeated. The word "intense" is used here incorrectly; "intense" is used in English to indicate a degree of intensity, i.e., "As the afternoon passed, the fire grew more intense."SuggestionIt is important to avoid malapropisms as far as possible, as some people take them as a hallmark of ignorance and lack of education. If you have problems with "to all intents and purposes," bear in mind that in that expression "intents" is redundant. Use one of the alternatives suggested above.
