# How to find coordinates on a straight line from one point at a particular distance

Let say we have a $2$D coordinate and a circle, the center is at origin and a straight line passes through the circle.

Let one coordinate is $(-3,3)$ and other we have to find the other coordinates$(x,y)$, where a straight line cuts the opposite side of coordinate$(-3,3)$. the straight line passes through the origin.

According to the above coordinates, the answer will be $(3,-3)$.

• Welcome to MSE. Could you please show some of the work that led you to believe the answer is $(3,-3)$? Showing your work is a good habit to get into on this site. – Robert Howard Aug 7 '18 at 16:57
• This is unclear to me. Perhaps rephrasing, giving different names to different things, and breaking this long sentence into several simple ones would help. – Arnaud Mortier Aug 7 '18 at 17:02
• Sorry the equation of line is x=y. – Avnish Gupta Aug 7 '18 at 17:04
• Don't you mean $x=-y?$ – saulspatz Aug 7 '18 at 17:12
• Are you asking whether your answer is correct? Why are you unsure? – saulspatz Aug 7 '18 at 17:14
