Answer

$(22, -6)$

Work Step by Step

By using the midpoint formula, we have $$(x, y)=\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)$$ $$(8, 2)=\left(\frac{-6 + x_2}{2}, \frac{10 + y_2}{2}\right)$$ Thus, $$\dfrac{-6 + x_2}{2}=8 \\ -6 + x_2 =16\\ x_2 = 16+6\\ x_2 = 22$$ and $$\frac{10 + y_2}{2}=2\\ 10 + y_2 =4\\ y_2=4-10\\ y_2 = -6$$ Therefore, the coordinates of $B$ are $(22, -6)$.
