1. **State the problem:**
We are given point T with coordinates $(0,6)$ and the midpoint $M$ of segment $ST$ as $(3,-4)$. We need to find the coordinates of point $S$.
2. **Recall the midpoint formula:**
The midpoint $M$ of a segment with endpoints $S(x_1,y_1)$ and $T(x_2,y_2)$ is given by:
$$M = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)$$
3. **Set up equations using the midpoint coordinates:**
Given $M = (3,-4)$ and $T = (0,6)$, we have:
$$3 = \frac{x_1 + 0}{2}$$
$$-4 = \frac{y_1 + 6}{2}$$
4. **Solve for $x_1$ and $y_1$:**
Multiply both sides by 2:
$$2 \times 3 = x_1 + 0 \Rightarrow 6 = x_1$$
$$2 \times (-4) = y_1 + 6 \Rightarrow -8 = y_1 + 6$$
5. **Isolate $y_1$:**
$$y_1 = -8 - 6 = -14$$
6. **Final answer:**
The coordinates of point $S$ are:
$$S = (6, -14)$$
