$S(10,-20)$

Use the midpoint formula to find the x-coordinate. $M=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$ $5=\frac{x_1+0}{2}$ $5=\frac{x_1}{2}$ $5\times2=\frac{x_1}{2}\times2$ $10=x_1$ Use the midpoint formula to find the y-coordinate. $M=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$ $-8=\frac{y_1+4}{2}$ $-8\times2=\frac{y_1+4}{2}\times2$ $-16=y_1+4$ $-16-4=y_1+4-4$ $-20=y_1$
