$$2 + \frac{6}{-4} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of $\frac{2}{1}$ and $\frac{6}{-4}$ is $4$. $$\begin{aligned} 2 + \frac{6}{-4} &= \frac{2 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{6 \cdot -1}{-4 \cdot -1} \\ &= \frac{8 + -6}{4} \\ &= \frac{2}{4} \\&= \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}$$
