The coordinates of P are (-13, -3), given the coordinates of Q as (7, 5) and the coordinates of the midpoint of PQ as (-3, 1).

The midpoint of AB,  given any points A (x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is given as point M = ({(x₁ + x₂)/2},{(y₁ + y₂)/2}).

In the question, we are given that the midpoint of PQ is (-3, 1) and point Q is (7, 5).

We are asked to find the coordinates of point P.

We assume the coordinates of point P as (x, y).

Thus, the midpoint of PQ = ({(x + 7)/2}, {(y + 5)/2}),

that is, (-3, 1) = ({(x + 7)/2}, {(y + 5)/2}).

Thus, we can show that:

(x + 7)/2 = -3,

or, x + 7 = -6,

or, x = -6 - 7 = -13.

(y + 5)/2 = 1,

or, y + 5 = 2,

or, y = 2 - 5 = -3.

Thus, the coordinates of P are (-13, -3), given the coordinates of Q as (7, 5) and the coordinates of the midpoint of PQ as (-3, 1).
