Yes. Both the additive inverse and the multiplicative inverse would be irrational in this case. For example, if a and b are integers, a/b is rational by definition; in this case, b/a would also be rational, being the ratio of two integers.

When can you say that a given real number is irrational?

A real number is an irrational number if it cannot be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a and b are integers. Most real numbers are irrational. The most well known irrational numbers are π and √2. The inverse condition are called the rational numbers.
