Answer:

No

Explanation:

You want to know if -8 is irrational.

Irrational numbers

A number is irrational if it has a decimal fraction part that does not terminate and does not repeat.

If you can describe all of the digits of the number explicitly without resort to functions or symbols, the number is not irrational.
