The coordinates of the midpoint \( M \) of the line segment connecting two points \( X(x_1, y_1) \) and \( Y(x_2, y_2) \) can be found using the midpoint formula:
\[
M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)
\]
In this case, we know:
- The midpoint \( M \) is given as \( (-3, 1) \).
- The coordinates of point \( Y \) are given as \( Y(-8, 6) \).
Let the coordinates of point \( X \) be \( X(x, y) \). According to the midpoint
