Answer: (-11,0) (Please make sure this answer is correct, as I am not a master...)

Explanation:

We can solve this a super simple way.

The midpoint is (-6,-3/2) and the coordinate B is (-1,3)

We notice that we change y by positive 5 and we change our x by negative 3/2, from M to B. So to get to A from M, we change y by -5 and change our x by positive 3/2...

So we have:

(-6-5,-3/2+3/2)

(-11,0)

So the coordinate of A is:

(-11,0) (Please make sure this answer is correct, as I am not a master...)
