Given two points coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)on 2D plane. The task is to find the reflection of (x1, y1) at 180 degree rotation of (x2, y2).
Examples: 
 

Input : x1 = 0, y1 = 0, x2 = 1, y2 = 1
Output : (2, 2)

Input : x1 = 1, y1 = 1, x2 = 2, y2 = 2
Output : (3, 3)

Let the reflection point of point (x1, y1) about (x2, y2) be (x’, y’). 
For (x’, y’) be the 180 degree rotation of point (x1, y1) around point (x2, y2), they all must be collinear i.e all the three point must lie on a same straight line. Also, observe (x2, y2) will became mid point between (x1, y1) and (x’, y’). 
 

So, 
x’ – x2 = x2 – x1 
y’ – y2 = y2 – y1
x’ = 2 * x2 – x1 
y’ = 2 * y2 – y1
Below is the implementation of this approach: 
 

C++




// CPP Program to find the 180 degree reflection
// of one point around another point.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
void findPoint(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2)
{
    cout << "(" << 2 * x2 - x1 << ", "
         << 2 * y2 - y1 << ")";
}
 
 
int main()
{
    int x1 = 0, y1 = 0, x2 = 1, y2 = 1;
    findPoint(x1, y1, x2, y2);
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java Program to find the 180 degree
// reflection of one point around
// another point.
class GFG {
     
    static void findPoint(int x1, int y1,
                          int x2, int y2)
    {
        System.out.println("(" + (int)(2 * x2 - x1)
               + "," + (int)(2 * y2 - y1 ) + " )");
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int x1 = 0, y1 = 0, x2 = 1, y2 = 1;
         
        findPoint(x1, y1, x2, y2);
    }
}

def findPoint(x1, y1, x2, y2):

                2 * y2 - y1 ,")");

    {
        Console.WriteLine("(" + (int)(2 * x2 - x1)
               + "," + (int)(2 * y2 - y1 ) + " )");
    }

                , 2 * $y2 - $y1 ,")";
}
 
    // Driver Code
    $x1 = 0;
    $y1 = 0;
    $x2 = 1;

    findPoint($x1, $y1, $x2, $y2);

function findPoint(x1, y1, x2, y2)
{

        + 2 * (y2 - y1) + ")");
}
 
    let x1 = 0, y1 = 0, x2 = 1, y2 = 1;
    findPoint(x1, y1, x2, y2);

</script>


Output: 

(2, 2)

 

Time Complexity : O(1)

Space Complexity : O(1) since using constant variables
