The given information is:

A is located at (-2,2)

M is located at (1,0)

M is the midpoint of AB.

To find the location of point B, we need to know the difference in the coordinates of point A and point M, and then, apply it to the coordinates of point M to find the location of point B.

The difference between A and M is:

M-A=(1-(-2), 0-2) = (1+2,-2) = (3,-2)

It means we need to add 3 to the x-coordinate of M and subtract 2 from the y-coordinate of M to find the location of B, thus:


\begin{gathered} B=(1+3,0-2) \\ B=(4,-2) \end{gathered}

Answer: point B is located at (4,-2)
