Answer: Rational

Explanation:

The number -0.8 is rational if it is an integer or decimal

A rational number is a number that can be represented as a/b where a and b are integers and b is not equal to 0.

Since -0.8 is an integer or decimal from above, -0.8 is also a rational

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers and is not an imaginary number.
