In summary, "Find the missing coordinates" is a mathematical problem-solving technique that involves finding the missing values in a set of coordinates on a graph or map. To solve this type of problem, one must identify the known coordinates and any given information or relationships between them, and then use algebraic equations or geometric principles to find the missing values. Common strategies for solving "Find the missing coordinates" problems include using the distance formula, setting up and solving systems of equations, and applying geometric principles such as slopes and midpoint formula. This technique can also be applied to real-life situations in fields such as engineering, navigation, and geography. There are various online resources and tools available, but it is important to have a strong understanding of the underlying mathematical concepts

B is the midpoint of AC( LIne segment) and E is the midpoint of BD( LIne segment). If A(-9, -4), C(-1,6) and E(-4,-3), find the cooridinate of D. I got really lost on that
