Look at the picture.


E\left((-5+1)/(2);\ (2+6)/(2)\right)\to E\left((-4)/(2);\ (8)/(2)\right)\to E(-2;\ 4)


\vec{BE}=[-2-(-6);\ 4-10]=[4;\ -6]


D(x;\ y)\\\\\vec{ED}=[x-(-2);\ y-4]=[x+2;\ y-4]\\\\\vec{ED}=\vec{BE}\ therefore\\\\ \ [x+2;\ y-4]=[4;\ -6]\to x+2=4\ and\ y-4=-6\\\\x=2\ and\ y=-2\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{A.\ (2;\ -2)}
