The graph shows the four quadrants of the coordinate plane.
An XY coordinate plane divided into four quadrants. The x axis runs from left to right.  The y axis runs up and down. Quadrant 1 is the top right quadrant. Quadrant 2 is the top left quadrant. Quadrant 3 is the bottom left quadrant. Quadrant 4 is the bottom right quadrant.

The point \((2, -6)\) consists of an \(x\)-coordinate of 2 and a \(y\)-coordinate of \(-6\).

- The \(x\)-coordinate is positive, which means it is to the right of the origin.
- The \(y\)-coordinate is negative, which means it is below the origin.

A point with a positive \(x\)-coordinate and a negative \(y\)-coordinate is located in **Quadrant IV**.

So, the correct answer is:

**Choice D: Quadrant IV.**

4. What is the significance of the origin \((0, 0)\) on the coordinate plane?
5. How do the axes divide the coordinate plane into four quadrants?

**Tip**: In Quadrant IV, the \(x\)-coordinates are always positive and the \(y\)-coordinates are always negative.
