Negative has nothing to do with the property of being rational or not. A negative number might be rational or irrational. Rational numbers are ones that can be written as fractions such as 1/5. The number -1/5 is also rational. Ones that cannot be written as fractions are irrational such as the square root of 2, but the negative square root of two is also irrational.
