The given number is


-(28)/(3)

If you divide this number, you would get


-(28)/(3)=-9.333333\ldots

As you can observe, the number as a repeating decimal, which is a pattern. This means the number is rational.

Why's not an integer?

Because integers are numbers that don't have decimal numbers.

Therefore, the answer is rational.
