SOLUTION: There is a line which connects two points if we have the coordinates of one point and also the length of the line how we can calculate the coordinates for another end point?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We can't find a specific point but we can find points that meet the criteria.
There are an infinite number of lines from any point with a given distance which could be described as the radius of a circle with the center at your given point.

let's say we have point x,y
and the distance is z
then we can find four points easily
x-z,y
x+z,y
x,y-z
x,y+z
