Yes, the expression \( 6 + (-10) \) is a rational number.
To simplify it:
\[
6 + (-10) = 6 - 10 = -4
\]
Since \(-4\) is an integer, it is also considered a rational number because rational numbers are defined as numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (where the denominator is not zero). In this case, \(-4\) can be expressed as \(-4/1\), which fits the definition.
