Final answer:

The coordinates of Y are (-3, -4).


Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of Y can be found by using the midpoint formula. If (3, 4) is the midpoint between X(0, 0) and Y, then the coordinates of Y can be calculated as follows:

Let (x, y) be the coordinates of Y.

Using the midpoint formula, (0, 0) is the midpoint of (3, 4) and (x, y), so:

(0, 0) = ((3 + x) / 2, (4 + y) / 2)

Simplifying this equation gives:

x = -3 and y = -4

Therefore, the coordinates of Y are (-3, -4).
