Answer:

Explanation:

To find the coordinates of point A, we can use the midpoint formula:

A = (2M - B)

Plugging in the known values, we get:

A = (2(-6 -3/2) - (-1, -3))

This simplifies to:

A = (-13 - 3, -6 - 3)

So the coordinates of point A are (-13 - 3, -6 - 3) = (-16, -9).

Therefore, the coordinates of point A are (-16, -9).
