Answer:

Real, Rational, Integer,

Explanation:

Real: Most numbers are real so they just naturally fall into this category

Rational: -5 can be written as a fraction so it falls here

Integer: An integer is a number that can be positive, negative, or 0. as long as it doesnt have decmal points, it's an integer

Its not a whole number because whole numbers cannot contain a fraction, decimal, or negative value

Hope this helps!
