Quizplus · Accepted Answer

-8 is a real number because it is a value that represents a quantity along a continuous line, including both rational and irrational numbers. -8 is rational, not irrational, and it is not a prime number because prime numbers are positive, non-zero numbers that have exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and themselves. It is also not a whole number because whole numbers start from 0 and include all the positive integers.
