PLEASE HELP ME!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A) The sum of x and y is a rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio or quotient of two integers

so

In this problem we have

$x=-5, y=-4$

$x+y=-5-4=-9$

Is a rational number, because the number $-9$ can be written as a ratio or quotient of two integers

Example

$-\frac{27}{3}=-9$

$-\frac{9}{1}=-9$
