Yes, negative numbers can most certainly be rational.

A rational number is simply a number which can be expressed as a fraction. An example of a negative rational number is:

Is 1.3 a rational or irrational?

Rational. All the counting numbers (and their negatives) are rational. So all integers are rational. Rational means a number which can be expressed by an integer divided by any other nonzero integer. ("Rational", from "ratio"). In the decimal system some might be difficult to write down exactly (like 1/3, or 1/7), but that difficulty doesn't stop them being rational.

Which operation of rational numbers lets you add all the numerators then copy the denominator?

Operations on rational numbers refer to the mathematical operations carrying out on two or more rational numbers. A rational number is a number that is of the form p/q, where: p and q are integers, q ≠ 0. Some examples of rational numbers are: 1/2, −3/4, 0.3 (or) 3/10, −0.7 (or) −7/10, etc. We know about fractions and how different operators can be used on different fractions. All the rules and principles that apply to fractions can also be applied to rational numbers. The one thing that we need to remember is that rational numbers also include negatives. So, while 1/5 is a rational number, it is true that −1/5 is also a rational number. There are four basic arithmetic operations with rational numbers: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
