The correct Answer is:
To find the centroid of triangle ABC with vertices A(-4, 6), B(2, -2), and C(2, 5), we will use the formula for the centroid of a triangle. The centroid (G) is given by the coordinates: \[ G\left(x_g, y_g\right) = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) \] ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the vertices - A = (-4, 6) - B = (2, -2) - C = (2, 5) ### Step 2: Substitute the coordinates into the centroid formula Using the formula for the x-coordinate of the centroid: \[ x_g = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3} = \frac{-4 + 2 + 2}{3} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the x-coordinate \[ x_g = \frac{-4 + 2 + 2}{3} = \frac{0}{3} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Substitute the coordinates into the centroid formula for y-coordinate Using the formula for the y-coordinate of the centroid: \[ y_g = \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} = \frac{6 + (-2) + 5}{3} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the y-coordinate \[ y_g = \frac{6 - 2 + 5}{3} = \frac{9}{3} = 3 \] ### Step 6: Combine the results The coordinates of the centroid G are: \[ G(0, 3) \] Thus, the centroid of triangle ABC is at the point (0, 3). ### Final Answer The centroid of triangle ABC is \( G(0, 3) \). ---
