Answer:

(0, -14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula: [tex](x_m, y_m) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )[/tex]

  1. Substitute known value: [tex](2, -5) = (\frac{4 + x_2}{2} ,\frac{4+y_2}{2} )[/tex]
  2. Find [tex]x_2[/tex] : [tex]2 = \frac{4+x_2}{2}[/tex] >> [tex]4 = 4 +x_2[/tex] >> [tex]0 = x_2[/tex]
  3. Find [tex]y_2[/tex] : [tex]-5 = \frac{4+y_2}{2}[/tex] >> [tex]-10 = 4 + y_2[/tex] >> [tex]-14 = y_2[/tex]
