the correct question is
The midpoint of kl is m(–8, 1). one endpoint is k(–6, 5). find the coordinates of the other endpoint l.

we know that
the formula of midpoint is
Xm=(x1+x2)/2----> 2*Xm=x1+x2------> x2=2*Xm-x1
Ym=(y1+y2)/2----> 2*Ym=y1+y2------> y2=2*Ym-y1

let
(x1,y1)------->
(–6, 5).
(Xm,Ym)-----> (-8,1)

find (x2,y2)
x2=2*Xm-x1-----> 2*(-8)-(-6)----> -10
y2=2*Ym-y1----> 2*(1)-5-----> -3

the point l is (-10,-3)
