The fewest is two ... one rational and one irrational. They can't be the same number.

The fewest number of distinct points that need to be graphed on a number line for a set that includes both rational and irrational numbers is two: one for a rational number and one for an irrational number. They must not be the same point. For example, one could graph 1 (rational) and 2 ​ (irrational).
