#H(0, 0)# and #G(-5, -2)#

Explanation:

Given intersection of the diagonals #D(-1, 2)=D(x_D, y_D)#
All that is needed is to solve for the endpoints of the diagonals.
The formula

#x_D=(x_E+x_G)/2#

#-1=(3+x_G)/2#

#-2=3+x_G#

#x_G=-5#

Also

#y_D=(y_E+y_G)/2#

#2=(6+y_G)/2#

#4=6+y_G#

#y_G=-2#

and therefore #G(-5, -2)#

For the other point #H(x_H, y_H)#

#x_D=(x_F+x_H)/2#

#-1=(-2+x_H)/2#

#-2=-2+x_H#

#x_H=0#

Also

#y_D=(y_F+y_H)/2#

#2=(4+y_H)/2#

#4=4+y_H#

#y_H=0#

and therefore #H(0, 0)#

God bless.....I hope the explanation is useful.
