An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. A triangle A B C is plotted on the graph. The triangle A B C has its vertices marked with closed points at A left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis, B left parenthesis 6 comma 4 right parenthesis, and C left parenthesis 2 comma 2 right parenthesis.
Given point A(2, 6)
on the triangle, what are the new coordinates of the point after the triangle is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise?

To find the new coordinates of point A(2, 6) after a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation around the origin, we can apply the following transformation:
When a point (x, y) is rotated 180 degrees around the origin, the new coordinates (x', y') can be calculated as:
For point A(2, 6):
Thus, the new coordinates of point A after a 180-degree rotation counterclockwise are (-2, -6).
So, the answer is: \[ (-2, -6) \]
