<svg id="svg" viewBox="-10 -10 120 120" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <polyline
    id="example"
    stroke="black"
    fill="none"
    points="50,0 21,90 98,35 2,35 79,90" />
</svg>

let example = document.getElementById("example");
let svgpoint = document.getElementById("svg").createSVGPoint();
svgpoint.y = 10;
svgpoint.x = 10;
console.log(example.points.insertItemBefore(svgpoint, 2));
