Answer

B(1,10)

Work Step by Step

Points A and B have symmetry with respect to point C(2, 3). To find the coordinates of B if A is the point: (3,-4) M=($\frac{x1+x2}{2}$, $\frac{y1+y2}{2}$) (2,3) = ($\frac{3+x2}{2}$, $\frac{-4+y2}{2}$) 2 =$\frac{3+x2}{2}$ , 3= $\frac{-4+y2}{2}$ x2 =4-3, y2 = 6 +4 x2 = 1, y2 = 10 Therefore the coordinates of B(1,10)
