(-7,0)

Explanation:

We know that for two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is the mid point has coordinates as:

((x_1​​+x_2)/2,​​(y​_1​​+y_2)/2).....(1)

Inserting given values we get the equations
((1​​+x_2)/2,​​(4+y_2)/2)=(-3,2)
Comparing the two we get
(1​​+x_2)/2=-3 .......(2)
​​(4+y_2)/2=2 ......(3)

From (2)
1​​+x_2=-6
=>x_2=-7
From (3)
​​4+y_2=4
​​=>y_2=0
We get coordinates of point B as
(-7,0)
