EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Midpoint = (-2,5)

A=(4,7)

Let the point of B as B=(x,y)

Then,


(x+4)/(2)=-2,(y+7)/(2)=5

Multiplying the frist equation by 2:


x+4=-2\cdot2

Subtracting -4 to both sides:


x=-4-4

Simplifying:


x=-8

Multiplying the second equation by 2:


y+7=2\cdot5

Subtracting -7 to both sides:


y=10-7=\text{ 3}

The coordinates of the point B are:

B=(-8,3)
