The correct option is: "It is both an integer and a whole number."
The correct answer is: "It is an integer but not a whole number."
To determine the truthfulness of the statement, we need to understand the definitions of the terms involved.
- Integer: An integer is a whole number that can be either positive, negative, or zero. It includes all the positive and negative whole numbers, as well as zero.
- Whole number: A whole number is a non-negative integer, including zero. It does not include any negative numbers.
From these definitions, we can conclude that -9 is indeed an integer because it is a negative whole number. However, it is not a whole number because whole numbers do not include negative numbers. Therefore, the statement "It is an integer but not a whole number" is true.
