Answer:

(-1,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of point A be (a,b).

We have that B is at (-5,1)

Assuming M(-3,3) is the midpoint of the segment AB, then

[tex](-3, 3 )= ( \frac{a + - 5}{2}, \frac{b + 1}{2} )[/tex]

This means that:

[tex]- 3 = \frac{a + - 5}{2}[/tex]

and

[tex]3 =\frac{b + 1}{2}[/tex]

This implies that 2*-3=a-5 and 3*2=b+1

-6=a-5 and 6=b+1.

a=5-6 and b=6-1

a=-1 and b=5.

Therefore the coordinates of A are:

(-1,5)
