let the two endpoints of the segment AB be A(x,y) and B(8,9).
We can calculate the other end A(x,y),if The midpoint of the segment is known.

we can use the formula Midpoint=(x+82,y+92)
to calculate the midpoint of segment AB.

5=x+82

10=x+8

x=108

x=2

6=y+92

12=y+9

y=129

y=3

We have found the unknown other end of the segment.

A(x,y)A(2,3)

answer to your question.

enter image source here

10=Ax+x2

10=8+x2
20=8+x
x=20+8
x=28 the x coordinate of the other endpoint

7=Ay+y2

7=10+y2
14=10+y
y=14+10
y=24 the y coordinate of the other endpoint.

B(28,24)
