Coordinate geometry is the branch of mathematics which deals with the position of an object lying in a plane.
Each point in cartesian plane has two coordinates X coordinate and Y coordinate.
The X co-ordinate is called the abscissa.
The Y co-ordinate is called the ordinate.
Coordinates X and Y taken together are called coordinates of a point. (x,y) is called an ordered pair.
MIDPOINT FORMULA:
Coordinates of the midpoint P of the line segment joining the points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) is [ (x1+x2) / 2 , (y1+y2)/2]

hello friend ☺
here is your answer
firstly the formula of mid point is (X1+X2)/2
ab is mid point
hence
4=(3+X2)/2
8=3+X2
X2=5
again using mid point formula
0=-2+Y2
hence Y2 =2
the coordinates of B are (5,2)
I hope it helps you ☺
