Answer:

The endpoint coordinates are (3,12)

Explanation:
(5+x^(2) )/(2) =4
(-6+y^(2) )/(2) = 3

You multiply 4 by 2 which gives you 8 and write the equation
5+x^(2) =8 then you subtract 5 from 8 to get 3 for the x coordinate.

You multiply 3 by 2 which gives 6 and writhe the equation
-6+y^(2)=6 then you substitute the -6 for +6 and add +6 and 6 to get 12 for the y coordinate.

To check use the midpoint formula with coordinates D and your endpoint coordinates
(5+3)/(2)=(8)/(2) =4 \\
(-6+12)/(2) =(6)/(2) =3 and you get the answer for the midpoint which is (4,3)
