~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{y}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ x +0}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y +6}{2} \right) ~~ = ~~\stackrel{\textit{\LARGE B}}{(5~~,~~-8)} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{x+0}{2}=5\implies \boxed{x=10} \\\\\\ \cfrac{y+6}{2}=-8\implies y+6=-16\implies \boxed{y=-22}
