To determine which coordinates represent a solution to the equation \(6x - 5y = 30\), we can substitute each coordinate into the equation.

1. **For (0, -5)**:
\[
6(0) - 5(-5) = 0 + 25 = 25 \quad (not \, 30)
\]

2. **For (0, -6)**:
\[
6(0) - 5(-6) = 0 + 30 = 30 \quad (this \, works)
\]

3. **For (-5, 0)**:
\[
6(-5) - 5(0) = -30 + 0 = -30 \quad (not \, 30)
\]

4. **For (-6, 0)**:
\[
6(-6) - 5(0) = -36 + 0 = -36 \quad (not \, 30)
\]

The only coordinate that satisfies the equation \(6x - 5y = 30\) is **B. (0, -6)**.
