Answer:

(-a, 0)

Explanation:

By telling you that the quadrilaretal is a kite the problem is telling you that SQ is perpendicular to PR, and that PS=PQ (by simmetry, it follows that also RS=RQ). So S has to be the symmetric of Q to the center (intersection of the diagonals), which means that, since Py=0, its coordinates are (-a, 0)
