Question

Show that the number is rational by writing it as a quotient of two integer.

-2

Short answer

$\frac{\mathbf{-}\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{1}} \mathbf{or}\frac{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{-}\mathbf{1}}$ are the rational form of $\mathbf{-}\mathbf{2}$ as a quotient of two integers.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information

Consider, the number $\mathbf{-}\mathbf{2}$ provided in question

Step 2. Calculation 

To convert number $-2$ as rational, it is needed to divide the number by $1$

Therefore,

$\Rightarrow -2=\frac{-2}{1} \text{or}\frac{2}{-1}$

Hence,

$\frac{-2}{1} \text{or}\frac{2}{-1}$are the rational form of $-2$ as a quotient of two integers.
