Answer:

the coordinates of point S are (12, -16).

Explanation:

Let the coordinates of point S be (x, y).

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

Midpoint formula: [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

Substituting the given values into the midpoint formula, we have:

(6, -6) = [(0 + x)/2, (4 + y)/2]

Simplifying the equation, we get:

(6, -6) = (x/2, (4 + y)/2)

Multiplying both sides by 2, we have:

(12, -12) = (x, 4 + y)

Comparing the x-coordinates, we have:

12 = x

Comparing the y-coordinates, we have:

-12 = 4 + y

Solving for y, we have:

y = -12 - 4

y = -16

Therefore, the coordinates of point S are (12, -16).
