To solve the equation 8+(-10), we start at the number 8 on the number line and then move 10 units to the left (since we are adding a negative number).
Moving 10 units to the left from 8 will bring us to -2.
Therefore, the solution to the equation 8+(-10) is -2.
Hence, the correct answer is -2 or negative 2.
