B= (3,6) and D= (18,9)

Explanation:

To find the midpoint of two given points add X1 and X2 together, then divide by 2 to get the X value of the midpoint and do the same thing for the Y value. That will get you B. From there you can see to get from point A to point C you add 10 to the x value and add 2 to the y value. Because C is the midpoint just double what you had to add to get point D (add 20 to x and add 4 to y)
