Answer:

The coordinates of point B are (-3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

[tex]M(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

we have

[tex]M(2,0)\\(x_1,y_1)=(7,-2)[/tex]

substitute

[tex](2,0)=(\frac{7+x_2}{2},\frac{-2+y_2}{2})[/tex]

Find the value of x_2

we have that

[tex]2=\frac{7+x2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]4=7+x_2\\x_2=-3[/tex]

Find the value of y_2

we have that

[tex]0=\frac{-2+y_2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]0=-2+y_2\\y_2=2[/tex]

therefore

The coordinates of point B are (-3,2)
