Final answer:

The coordinates of point B are (-8, 8).


Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of AB can be found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of points A and B.

Given that the midpoint M is (-6, 6) and the coordinates of A are (-4, 4), we can set up the following equations:

  1. (xA + xB)/2 = -6
  2. (yA + yB)/2 = 6

Solving these equations, we find that the x-coordinate of point B is -8 and the y-coordinate of point B is 8. Therefore, the coordinates of B are (-8, 8).
