The correct Answer is:
To find the centroid of triangle ABC with vertices A(-4, 6), B(2, -2), and C(2, 5), we can use the formula for the centroid of a triangle. The centroid (G) is given by the coordinates: \[ G\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the coordinates of the vertices:** - A(x₁, y₁) = A(-4, 6) - B(x₂, y₂) = B(2, -2) - C(x₃, y₃) = C(2, 5) 2. **Substitute the coordinates into the centroid formula:** - \( x_1 = -4, y_1 = 6 \) - \( x_2 = 2, y_2 = -2 \) - \( x_3 = 2, y_3 = 5 \) The formula for the x-coordinate of the centroid (H) is: \[ H = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3} = \frac{-4 + 2 + 2}{3} \] The formula for the y-coordinate of the centroid (K) is: \[ K = \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} = \frac{6 + (-2) + 5}{3} \] 3. **Calculate the x-coordinate (H):** - Calculate the sum: \[ -4 + 2 + 2 = 0 \] - Divide by 3: \[ H = \frac{0}{3} = 0 \] 4. **Calculate the y-coordinate (K):** - Calculate the sum: \[ 6 + (-2) + 5 = 9 \] - Divide by 3: \[ K = \frac{9}{3} = 3 \] 5. **Write the coordinates of the centroid:** - The centroid G is at the coordinates: \[ G(0, 3) \] ### Final Answer: The centroid of triangle ABC is at the point \( G(0, 3) \).
