Answer:

Integers, Rational Numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

When the negative sign is attached to a whole number, the number becomes a negative integer.

Thus, -5 belongs to the broad set of integers.

Furthermore, any number that can be written in the fractional form (a/b) is rational.


-5=-(5)/(1)

So, we can say -5 also belongs to the set of rational numbers.

Thus, -5 belongs to the set of Integers, Rational Numbers
