Abstract: Let $alphainmathbbR$ and let ${\displaystyle }$A=�egin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \ 0 & 1end{bmatrix} ext{and} B_{alpha} = �egin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \ alpha & 1end{bmatrix}.${\displaystyle }$ The subgroup $G_{a}lpha$ of $mathrm{SL}_2(mathbbR)$ is a group generated by the matrices $A$ and $B_{a}lpha$. In this paper, we investigate the property of the group $G_{a}lpha.$ We construct a generalization of the Farey graph for the subgroup $G_{a}lpha.$ This graph determines whether the group $G_{a}lpha$ is a free group of rank $2$. More precisely, the group $G_{a}lpha$ is a free group of rank $2$ if and only if the graph is tree. In particular, we show that if $1/2$ is a vertex of the graph, then $G_{a}lpha$ is not a free group of rank $2$. Using this, we construct a sequence of real numbers so that the sequence converges to $4$ and each number has the corresponding group that is not a free group of rank $2$. It turns out that the real numbers are algebraic integers.
