Answer: B(8, -8 )

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for calculating mid - point between two points is given as :

M = ( [tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}[/tex] )

The mid point has been given from the question .

[tex]x_{1}[/tex] = -2

[tex]x_{2}[/tex] = ?

[tex]y_{1}[/tex] = 4

[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = ?

substituting into the formula , we have

(3 , - 2 ) = ([tex]\frac{-2+x_{2}}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{4+y_{2}}{2}[/tex] )

Equating x -component to x and y component to y , we have

3 = [tex]\frac{-2+x_{2}}{2}[/tex]

cross multiplying , we have

6 = -2 + [tex]x_{2}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]x_{2}[/tex] = 8

Also , equating y component to y , we have

-2 = [tex]\frac{4+y_{2}}{2}[/tex]

-4 = 4 + [tex]y_{2}[/tex]

[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = -8

Therefore :

[tex]x_{2}[/tex]  = 8

[tex]y_{2}[/tex]  = -8

check

-2 + 8 / 2 = 3 and

-8 + 4 / 2 = -2
