To determine the next point on the graph, we need to consider the pattern or relationship between the given points. Since the x-axis ranges from 0 to 6 and the y-axis ranges from -6 to 0, we can see that the x-values are increasing by 1 and the y-values are decreasing by 1.
Based on this pattern, the next point on the graph would be (5, -2.5), which is option D.
