The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following numbers are negative rational numbers, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze `frac(-15)(-4)` - The fraction `frac(-15)(-4)` has both the numerator and denominator as negative numbers. - When we divide two negative numbers, the result is positive. - Therefore, `frac(-15)(-4)` is **not a negative rational number**. ### Step 2: Analyze 0 - The number 0 is neither positive nor negative. - It is considered a rational number but not a negative rational number. - Therefore, 0 is **not a negative rational number**. ### Step 3: Analyze `frac(-5)(7)` - The fraction `frac(-5)(7)` has a negative numerator and a positive denominator. - A negative divided by a positive is negative. - Therefore, `frac(-5)(7)` is a **negative rational number**. ### Step 4: Analyze `frac(4)(-9)` - The fraction `frac(4)(-9)` has a positive numerator and a negative denominator. - A positive divided by a negative is also negative. - Therefore, `frac(4)(-9)` is a **negative rational number**. ### Step 5: Analyze -6 - The number -6 is a negative integer. - It can be expressed as `frac(-6)(1)`, which is a negative rational number. - Therefore, -6 is a **negative rational number**. ### Step 6: Analyze `frac(1)(-2)` - The fraction `frac(1)(-2)` has a positive numerator and a negative denominator. - A positive divided by a negative is negative. - Therefore, `frac(1)(-2)` is a **negative rational number**. ### Summary of Results - Negative rational numbers from the options are: - (iii) `frac(-5)(7)` - (iv) `frac(4)(-9)` - (v) -6 - (vi) `frac(1)(-2)` ### Final Answer The negative rational numbers are: - `frac(-5)(7)`, - `frac(4)(-9)`, - -6, - `frac(1)(-2)`. ---
