♡ The Explanation/Step-By-Step ♡          

Natural numbers are positive integers from 1 till infinity, though, nautral numbers don't include zero. Since -85 is a negative number, this wouldn't be a natural number.

A whole number is a set of numbers including all positive integers and 0. Since -85 isn't a positive number, this wouldn't be a whole number.

An irrational number is where any real number that cannot be expressed as the quotient of two integers. Irrational numbers are commonly square roots, too. Although, -85 isn't a square root.

A rational number is where any number that can be written as a ratio, or a fraction, of two integers can be classified as a rational number. Rational numbers are commonly fractions, decimals, negative decimals, etc!

An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. 85 is a whole number, and can be negative, which in this case, is -85. The number we're using. Therefore, -85 is an integer.
