The coordinates of Q would be (4,-1)
It is given that the coordinates of the point P is (-2,1).
Also, the coordinates of the mid point is (1,0).
Let us assume the coordinates of the point Q to be (x,y)
As the mid point of the point lies mid-way between P and Q, so the x-coordinate of the mid point would be equal to the summation of the x-coordinates of the two points, divided by 2 and same for the y-coordinate.
So,
(x-2)/2 = 1
⇒ (x-2) = 2
⇒ x = 4
And,
(y+1)/2 = 0
⇒ y+1 = 0
⇒ y = -1
So, the coordinates of Q is (4,-1)
