Best Answer

-6 is rational, as it can be written as 1/b (-6/1).

An example of an irrational number is pi, as it has an infinite amount of decimal places.

No. 6 is a rational number:

6 = 6/1 = a/b (with a & b integers and b ≠ 0) which is the definition of a rational number

What is four irrational numbers closest to 6 on the number line?

Irrational numbers are infinitely dense. Between any two numbers, there are infinitely many irrational numbers. So if it was claimed that some irrational, x, was the closest irrational to 6, it is possible to find an infinite number of irrationals between 6 and x. Each one of these infinite number of irrationals would be closer to 6 than x. So the search for the nearest irrational must fail.
