Complement of Set of Rational Pairs in Real Euclidean Plane is Arc-Connected

Theorem
Let $\struct {\R^2, d}$ be the real number plane with the usual (Euclidean) topology.

Let $S \subseteq \R^2$ be the subset of $\R^2$ defined as:
 * $\forall x, y \in \R^2: \tuple {x, y} \in S \iff x, y \in \Q$

Hence let $A := \R^2 \setminus S$:
 * $\tuple {x, y} \in A$ either $x$ or $y$ or both is irrational.

Then $A$ is arc-connected.

Proof
Let $\tuple {a, b} \in A$.

Consider any point $\tuple {x_1, y_1} \in A$ whose coordinates are both irrational.

By definition, either $a$ or $b$ is irrational.

suppose $a$ is irrational.

Then the union of the straight lines $x = a, y = y_1$ is an arc-connected subset of $A$ connecting $\tuple {x_1, y_1}$ to $\tuple {a, b}$.

Hence any point in $A$ can be connected to $\tuple {x_1, y_1}$ by an arc.

Hence the result, by definition of arc-connected.
