Answer:

(22;-3)

Explanation:

if to calculate the coordinates of the given midpoint it needed to use:


x_(midpoint)=(x_(endpoint1)+x_(endpoint2))/(2);


y_(midpoint)=(y_(endpoint1)+y_(endpoint2))/(2);

then to calculate the coordinates of endpoint2, it needed to perform the substitution:


(-10+x_(endpoint2))/(2)=6,


2=(7+y_(endpoint2))/(2),

finally:


x_(endpoint2)=22;


y_(endpoint2)=-3.
