Yes, that is the definition of a rational number. The term "rational" is derived from the same root as "ratio": a rational number is a ration of two integers - otherwise known as a fraction.

What is the comparison of a rational number and a ratio?

I have no idea what "compersion" means or what you are trying to say. A rational number is so called because it can be expressed as ratio of two integers. Each rational number is a ratio and each ratio is a rational number. However, the relationship is not one of equivalence: each rational number can be represented by infinitely many equivalent ratios.

Could a negitive number be rational?

Of course. A "rational number" is any number that can be represented as the ratio of two integers. -32 is the ratio of -32/1 . -29.72 is the ratio of -743/25 . -12.94 is the ratio of -647/50 . etc. In fact, we'd go out on a limb here and argue that the negative of any rational number is also a rational number.
