A circle is centered at the origin. The coordinates of one end point of a diameter are (3 + square root of 2, -4). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint of the diameter?
------------------------------
For every (x,y) on the circle, the diagonally opposite point is (-x,-y)
-----------------------------
Your problem:
Opposite of (3+sqrt(2),-4) is (-(3+sqrt(2)), 4)
