Answer:

-10 belongs to the set of negative integers and rational numbers thus belongs to the set of real numbers also.

Explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction
(p)/(q) where p and q are integers and
q\\eq 0

Negative integers are the numbers less than zero but not a fraction and is written with a minus sign. example = -2 , -99 , -40 etc.

Real numbers includes all rational numbers , integers, irrationals, natural numbers, whole numbers.

Thus, the given number -10 belongs to the set of rational numbers and -10 can be written as
-10=(-10)/(1) where -10 and 1 are integers and
1\\eq 0.

also, -10 belongs to the set of negative integers.

Thus, -10 belongs to the set of negative integers and rational numbers thus belongs to the set of real numbers also.
