Answer :

The centroid is the average of all the coordinates.
-3+1+5/2=x
x=3/3
1+6+2/2=y
y=9/3
The answer is (1,3)

Answer:  (1,3)

Explanation:

the centroid is point inside a triangle where center of all three sides lies.

we have formula for centroid as   [tex](x,y)=(\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3},\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3} )[/tex]

here we have three coordinates of both variables x, y are given as below

[tex]x_1= -3, x_2=1, x_3=5\\y_1=1, y_2=6, y_3=2[/tex]

substituting the values of given variables in the formula we will get

[tex]x =\frac{-3+1+5}{3} =1\\\\y =\frac{1+6+2}{3}=3[/tex]

Hence, centroid of given triangle ABC  is (x,y) = (1,3)
