Answer:

(3, 1)

Explanation:

Let the coordinates of B be (x, y)

Since, M is the midpoint of AB.

Therefore, by mid point formula:


1 = ( - 1 + x)/(2), \: \: \: 3 = (5 + y)/(2) \\ \\ 2 = - 1 + x, \: \: \: 6 = 5 + y \\ \\ 2 + 1 = x, \: \: \: 6 - 5 = y \\ \\ 3 = x, \: \: \: 1 = y \\ \\ x = 3, \: \: \: y = 1 \\ \\ B = (3, \: \: 1)
