To determine if -4 is a solution to the inequality \( r - 6 < -10 \), let's first substitute -4 into the inequality:

1. Substitute \( r = -4 \) into the inequality:
\[
-4 - 6 < -10
\]

2. Simplify the left side:
\[
-10 < -10
\]

This statement is false because -10 is not less than -10.

Therefore, -4 is **not** a solution to the inequality \( r - 6 < -10 \).

The answer is **No**.
