The correct answer is: (-2,5)

Given: The equation of the circle is

 x2+y2-2x-6y-15=0

x-12+y-32-25=0

So the centre of the circle is 1,3 and its radius is 5.

We know that the centre is mid-point of the diameter.

Also one end of the diameter is 4,1 and let other end be a,b.

By mid point formula, 

1=a+42 and 3=b+12

a=-2 and b=5

So the other end of the diameter is -2, 5.
