Detailed Solution

To answer this question, we will use the midpoint formula.  And it is written as x=x1+x22,y=y1+y22where x1,y1,x2,y2are the two given points and (x,y) is the coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment connecting x1,y1,x2,y2

Given that, the coordinates of the midpoint of line segment AB are (1,-2)

 Also, coordinates of A are (-3,2).

Let the coordinates of B be (a, b)

Midpoint of two points x1,y1and x2,y2 is calculated by the formula x1+x22,y1+y22

Hence, midpoint of AB=-3+a2,2+b2=(1,-2)

=-3+a2=1;  2+b2=-2

=-3+a=2;  2+b=-4

a=5;b=-6

Hence, the coordinates of B are (5,-6).
