Answer:
Rachel is not correct
Step-by-step explanation:
It is true that the set of integers includes negative numbers, where the sets of whole or natural numbers do not. However, any rational, irrational, or real number can be negative. -5.5 is a rational number, but it is not an integer, because it has a fractional part.
