    Usually longitude and latitude are expressed like this: 95 degrees 30 minutes West (= 95.5 W), 29 degrees 45 minutes North (29.75 N).

    To get the other side of longitude, subtract 180 degrees.

    That would be 95.5 W - 180 = 84.5 E

    The opposite of latitude 29d 45' N is 29d 45' S.

    The point 84.5 E, 29.75 S is in the India Ocean, about 4,228 kilometers south of India, and 2,880 kilometers west of Australia. The nearest land is Ile Amsterdam, owned by France.
