Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

An integer is a whole number so if x is positive and y is negative then the equation would just be x plus negative y. But x+-y is an odd equation so the simplified version is x-y so it is a rational number, since a rational number is a number that can be rewritten as a simple fraction.
