If the coordinates of two points on the Earth is (x, y) and (x+180, -y); is there a geography term which corresponds to that relationship?

the antipode. if you draw a line from x, y through the exact center of the earth, the point x+180, -y will be where that line exits the earth's surface on the other side (assumes the earth is a perfect sphere, which it is not).
good luck!

x is measured to the North & South of Equator to North & South poles.y is measured from Greenwich meridian to the International Date Line that passes from Pacific.Any point can be coordinated on Earth using these references.

No, there is not. Cuz, they are just two specific points on Earth. That's it
