Final answer:

The coordinates for point B are (13, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates for point B can be found by using the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are given by:

Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)

In this case, the coordinates of the midpoint C are (5, 2) and the coordinates of A are (-3, 7). Plugging these values into the midpoint formula, we get:

Midpoint = ((-3 + x2)/2, (7 + y2)/2) = (5, 2)

Solving for x2 and y2, we get:

x2 = 2*5 + 3 = 13

y2 = 2*2 - 7 = -3

Therefore, the coordinates for point B are (13, -3).
