Answer:

  q = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

For A the midpoint between B and C, we have ...

  A = (B+C)/2

  C = 2A -B

Point A(-1, 1) is the midpoint* between C(q, 4) and B(3, -2), so the point (q, 4) will be ...

  (q, 4) = 2A -B

  (q, 4) = 2(-1, 1) -(3, -2) = (2(-1)-3), 1(1)+2)

  (q, 4) = (-5, 4)

  q = -5

_____

* We know A is the midpoint because we observe the differences in y-values for C-A and A-B are ... 4 -1 = 3, and 1 -(-2) = 3. That is, points C and B are the same distance from A.
