Let  the other endpoint  be  ( x, y)

 

And we  have that

 

(9 + x)  / 2  =   5               ( 7 + y) / 2  =  -11

 

9 + x  = 5*2                       7 +  y  =  -11*2

 

9 + x  =10                           7 + y  = -22

 

x = 10 -9   = 1                      y  =  -22  - 7  =  -29

 

(x, y ) =  ( 1, -29)
