The required point is (6, - 12).

Step-by-step explanation:

If (a, b) and (c, d) be the coordinates of any two points, then the coordinates of the mid-point joining those points be ( (a + c)/2, (b + d)/2 ).

The line segment is formed by points are (0, 0) and (x, y), whose mid-point is (3, - 6).

Then,

(0 + x)/2 = 3 and (0 + y)/2 = - 6

or, x/2 = 3 or, y/2 = - 6

or, x = 6 or, y = - 12

Therefore the required point is (6, - 12).
