Answer

(11,-15)

Work Step by Step

Given M(3,-4) is the mid point of $\overline{AB}$, Ponit A (-5,7) To find out the coordinates of point B(x2,y2) use theorem 10.1.2 Midpoint M(xm,ym) =($\frac{x1+x2}{2}$ , $\frac{y1+y2}{2}$) (3,-4) =($\frac{-5+x2}{2}$ , $\frac{7+y2}{2}$) 3 =$\frac{-5+x2}{2}$ ,-4 =$\frac{7+y2}{2}$ x2=6+5, y2 = -8-7 x2 = 11, y2 = -15
